ABOUT ME

I study applied maths. I love football (not the american kind), music, and, of course, travel. This August I will be traveling to Japan as part of a school exchange.

I spent June 2012 in Donetsk, Ukraine, summer 2011 roadtripping round the US and summer 2010 doing research in Paris and traveling bits of western Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Current Highlight: watching the USA beat Algeria in the world cup during stoppage time. I watched in Paris with many Algerians.

Addendum: I would also say being at the Rose Bowl for the Gold Cup final between USA and Mexico was a life highlight for the first 30 minutes of the game. Not so much after that.

Addendum2: Watching 4 matches in the Euro 2012 tournament was great, but the rest of Ukraine was eye-opening too.
