CURRENT MISSION

Out of the tree of life I just picked me a plum

ABOUT ME

I am currently finishing my studies as a Masters student (studying French) at the University at Albany in Albany, NY. I have been seriously pursuing French for about four years now and I love it, and I can't wait to pursue another language. I am extremely passionate about culture and love to share and exchange knowledge of my own culture with others, especially over a great cup of coffee, a pint or a glass of wine.

PHILOSOPHY

A positive mind attracts positive things. Take time each day to enjoy the simplest of pleasures.
