CURRENT MISSION

Be humble, be kind.

ABOUT ME

I am currently a graduate student studying City Planning and Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (though originally from New York) and have a background in architecture. I love to walk around and explore cities, eat all the food and drink all the drinks. Looking to connect with likeminded people all around the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

"Henry Miller used to say that it is far more important to discover a church that no one else has ever heard of than to go to Rome and feel obliged to visit the Sistine Chapel with two hundred thousand other tourists bellowing in your ear. By all means go to the Sistine Chapel, but wander the streets too, explore alleyways, experience the freedom of looking for something – quite what you don’t know – but which, if you find it, will – you can be sure – change your life."
