I love traveling and want to see other parts of the world beyond the hostel walls and the top ten tourist attractions. I enjoy reading, swimming, working at a language immersion summer camp where I teach kids German, being with family and friends, and stimulating conversation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter fan since the beginning, but lately I've been trying to read transnational WOC writers (e.g. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Maya Angelou, NoViolet Bulawayo etc).

I don't watch that many movies but recently saw Get Out and loved it.

Music I like listening to some of everything including lots of Noname and Hippocampus in the past year or so.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been stung by two different jellyfish on the same spot in one day.
