CURRENT MISSION
Finish university, live abroad, find a job I love, and travel everywhere!
ABOUT ME
I'm a friendly person, though I can be a little shy when I first meet you. I like learning from other people's beliefs and experiences; it offers great insight on life. I love anything and everything that has to do with travelling and I hope to visit as many places as I can. I love languages and linguistics. Right now I only speak Spanish and Arabic but I still am learning.
PHILOSOPHY
Everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand that reason yet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I visited Egypt in 2012, I had the opportunity to spend three days in a Coptic Catholic seminary. I met the young seminarians, many of whom were from rural Egypt and all of whom were learning English, and they showed me what it means to truly care for a person whom they've barely gotten to know. I can't even explain how wonderful these young men and their teachers are; it is something that I will never be able to forget.
Teach, Learn, Share
Know when to stop. It sounds simple, but its easy to take on more than you can handle and then try to push through.
