Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To experience and learn as much as I can about history, culture, and everything inbetween. CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA, MARCH 2016 - FEBRUARY 2017
ABOUT ME
I'm 26 years old with a passion for criminal justice, human rights, social work, and social justice. I have a bachelors in Criminology and hopefully will be going back for my Master's soon. I am very active and love sports; I played basketball for my university. I will be taking a Gap Year+ in 2016 and will be traveling in an attempt to learn some languages and gather experience working with different cultures. The ocean is one of my favorite places. I also love to read in my spare time.
PHILOSOPHY
follow your heart, but don't lose your head.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
First trip outside the USA was to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam all by my lonesome.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm pretty shy, but get me talking about criminal justice issues in USA and I'll talk your ear off! Talk to me about your country and you'll have my full attention. I'm quiet and laid back, but I'm eager to practice my language skills (or lack thereof) and take in all that is around me :)
