Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I just moved to Yiwu, China! I'm looking to explore my surroundings and meet new people.
ABOUT ME
I am easy going and always open to new experiences, I will try almost anything once. I am curious about the world and love learning about new cultures. I like to live in other countries as opposed to just travel for a few days because I feel that is the best way to get to know the country. I also like being out of my comfort zone. I was a psych major so I really enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their experiences (I promise I am not analyzing you).
PHILOSOPHY
Be open minded. Don't judge a book by it's cover. Be kind. Appreciate, enjoy, and respect this beautiful world and all of its animals.
Interests
I love nature and and exploring new places. I like to hike and bike and am looking forward to lots of outdoor adventures in my upcoming travels. I love a good book, especially travel books, and have a running list of books I want to read. I am definitely a foodie and love spicy and ethnic food, Indian, Ethiopian, and Thai are my three favorites! I love yoga, dancing, and soccer.
