CURRENT MISSION

Experience, learn, and grow

ABOUT ME

I am a twentysomething trying to broaden my perspective on the world through traveling. I think that one of the most meaningful parts of visiting a new country is meeting its people and learning first-hand about the culture--including their traditions, views on various issues, language, and food.

I am kind, curious, and respectful of your space.

PHILOSOPHY

Worry is a misuse of imagination. - Dan Zadra
