CURRENT MISSION

"Live the life you love, love the life you live"

ABOUT ME

I'm a student in London and I absolutely love it here. I'm finding that the other students at my university usually tend to stick with their own nationality groups and I've been finding it rather difficult to meet people that I connect with. Just a bit aggravating!
I'm really easy to get along with and will talk to just about anyone. I'm studying European politics and I love it, but I also love football (proper kind!), exploring, traveling and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma. I am a firm believer in treat others as you want to be treated. I am terrible at being mean to people and am trying to learn how to stand up for myself, while not being a bitch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always wanted to go to Ireland (not that exotic, I know) but I finally saved up my money, went completely by myself, and had one of the best weekends of my life. I took a tour and met wonderful people and there was one moment on the bus when I looked outside, and there was a perfect, clear rainbow in a field and I was so happy and proud of myself for finally getting enough courage to go and experience my dream.
