I left my home in Plymouth, MI in May of 2015 to begin an adventure. I moved to Laguna Beach, where i worked for a non-profitt organization that built people's public speaking skills. I lived in California until January of 2016 when I decided to volunteer on a farm in Hawaii in exchange for food and a cabin to sleep in. This is known as WWOOFing, (World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms). I agreed to stay on the farm for three months. Now the three months are about to end and I am continuing my travels in New York City, a place I fell in love with the first time I was there when I was 12.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy thought provoking books. Currently, I'm reading a non-fiction book called "The Man Who Wasn't There". It explores personal identity by discussing various psychological disorders that cause people to have identity problems. By studying these disorders, the author makes conclusions about the underlying cognitive processes that shape our identity.

For movies, I enjoy pretty much everything. The last movie I saw that I really enjoyed was The Big Short.
