I am a Californian with French/Italian roots! I currently attend UCLA as a psychobiology major. This year I am living in Madrid, Spain with the goal of learning the language and traveling across Europe. Thanks to my mom, I was 16 I spent the summer teaching English in Naples, Italy and at 18 I spent the summer backpacking in Peru. I have loved discovering different cultures/histories and want to continue to explore the world!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 2 months in Peru when I was 18. I backpacked through the Cordillera Blanca then spent a week with an indigenous family in the Amazon rainforest learning about different plants and animals. The last 4 weeks I had an internship in a medical clinic and retirement while I took spanish classes at night and lived with various other inters I had just met. I traveled throughout the entire country on my weekends including a three day hitchhiking travel to Machu Picchu, hike to rainbow mountain, and boatride around Lake Titicaca!
