CURRENT MISSION

To learn, live, and love the cultures of the world

ABOUT ME

My name is Claire. I'm embarking on a year-long adventure with my boyfriend, Derek, to travel in Europe and Asia. I recently graduated from UCSD with degrees in Sociology and Spanish Literature. I'm passionate about social and environmental sustainability and have been building my life around these values. I am a vegan, a nature lover, a people lover, an inquisitive and caring soul.

In the upcoming year, I hope to expand my mind and learn from the cultures and people of the world. There is so much knowledge to gain from listening to people's stories and from taking time to live as others do.

PHILOSOPHY

Love yourself, love others, love the Earth.

教，学，和分享

I love to cook (vegan food) and would be happy to teach you, share some recipes, or even just feed you!

I'm learning language and I'd love to learn yours. I speak English and am proficient in Spanish, but I have much to learn and would like to start discovering new languages.
