About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many interesting people as possible, learn and share with them.

ABOUT ME

I´m a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I spent 2008 - 2010 living in the coffee growing mountains of Costa Rica, and this summer I´ll be traveling around the US before going up to Evanstson. I´ll be a McCormick Scholar at Northwestern´s Medill School of Journalism.
Before Costa Rica, I lived in Austin, Texas for two years and before that I went to school at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. I attended high school in Doha, Qatar, middle school in Jakarta, Indonesia and elementry school in Lhokseumawe, Indonesia (in Sumatra). I was fortunate to grow up overseas and I intend to travel more!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to get upset when things don´t go your way.
