CURRENT MISSION

Travel Central America-have an amazing time

ABOUT ME

My favorite thing to do is laugh with good friends, preferably about ridiculous things. I also enjoy being outdoors (even better if i can sleep under the stars), listening to live music, surfing, swimming in non-pools, cooking, reading, and being silly. I occasionally watch bad t.v., not at all in an ironic way. i am very, very curious about people and i love observing. i am also a struggling vegetarian at constant risk of a double bacon cheeseburger breakdown.

I am about to finish my third year of college and am planning an epic 10 week trip to Nicaragua to do research for my senior history essay next year. I'm looking to meet new friends, hang out, and learn everything there is to know about Nicaragua by experiencing it first hand.
