About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be able to communicate anywhere in the world

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, learn languages, volunteer and explore. Fairly hippy-ish, I plan on starting my own NGO some day, hopefully in Latin America, to increase educational opportunities for kids living in poverty in urban settings. I love discussing politics, talking about how to make the world a better place, and having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't want to do something, dont do it. Almost never in life do we truly ''have'' to do something. So, for once, don't conform. End your obligations and go be a free spirit, wandering the earth for a year or so, much as I plan to do after graduation.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saksaywaman in Peru, which is the fortress sitting above the city of Cuzco. In my Quechua class at the University of Michigan we learned a song about it, and I started to sing it while riding the horse around the incan ruins, only to have two peruvians join me, who also knew the song!
