About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spend as much time in Europe as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am a student of German & Psychology (and Russian as of late). During my undergraduate studies I lived in Germany for 14 months, and was able to travel a little bit during that time. I have never felt the need to see as many places as possible as quickly as possible; rather I prefer to take my time and spend longer in one place and really explore it. I have a whole lifetime to travel and I plan to use it!

PHILOSOPHY

“I say let the world go to hell, but I should always have my tea.”
― Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground
I believe firmly that people should first make themselves whole. Only than can we give our all in the relief of others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I appreciate many types of music and am always eager for new suggestions! Nothings better than a Live show though!

I've always loved cuddling up with a cuppa tea and reading. Recently I've been reading more non-fiction, particularly the autobiographies of comedians.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't be afraid of Public Transportation! It's a great way to save money, time, and a headache, as well as to see a city & its citizens in action!
