About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become an informed global citizen while discovering as many new cultures and ideas as possible.

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy talking to people about anything and everything! Getting new perspectives on anything is always really interesting for me. I've only traveled a little bit and would love to get more perspectives on things in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My family went on a 30 day road trip out to the western part of the United States. Three places stick out in my mind especially:

Crater Lake National Park in Oregon is absolutely gorgeous, going there was incredible. The view from the rim of the crater down into the lake was beautiful and the sheer scale of everything was a unique experience.

Big Bend National Park in Texas was one of my favorite places in the United States, my family and I camped here for a couple days. The sky was dark enough to see the milky way and the hiking was awesome.

Arches National Park in Utah was really cool too! The rock formations were incredible and the hiking in the desert was really beautiful as well.
