Overview
About Me
Twenty-three. Just finished a volunteer year in Portland, OR and now living and working there. Went to school in Providence, RI before that. Spent a semester in Switzerland, and traveled around Europe. I've also been to Tijuana, Mexico and around Guatemala. Currently, I'm road-tripping my car out to Portland from New Hampshire. Hoping to see some cool sites and meet people along the way!

Music, Movies, and Books
**I can appreciate pretty much all music. so much good stuff out there-- always looking for new stuff to check out.
**Call Me By Your Name is one of my more recent favorites, otherwise Family Stone or Little Women.
**Favorite book might be The Four Agreements... I'm into that life-philosophy, self-help type stuff. Also have STACKS of books waiting for me to read them. Anything I should add to the pile?
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ran six half-marathons; Watched the All Blacks perform the haka in real-time; Canyoned in Interlaken, Switzerland; Skiied in the Swiss Alps...
