Currently getting my master's in International Relations/Economics, and studying at Sciences Po in the sustainable economy. Looking to explore Europe and beyond!

Relaxed and easy going, but unafraid to be serious and talk about things that are meaningful. Expanding and strengthening my understanding of the world is a big goal of mine, but also to be humble while doing so. I like to talk about philosophy and science, but I really enjoy just having a good time too!

I have been giving the vegetarian diet a try for about a year, but I won't ever judge anyone for eating meat. I ate meat for a long time!

Most need some sort of income to live, but the work we do for income often is not the work you do to give your life meaning. The most important work you will do is to develop yourself first so that you can have a positive impact on the world, whether you get paid for it or not.
