CURRENT MISSION

Looking to share my little corner of the world....

ABOUT ME

I am a political science student, with very little interest in American politics, who would rather be known as a traveler, with the underlying title of "wanna be adventurer." I am more than slightly neurotic, but still hopelessly romantic, with an addiction to sunshine. Above all, I am simply an inquisitive girl on a worldly quest to find the simple answers to my many questions...

PHILOSOPHY

"Live."

It sounds simple, but personal experience has taught me that there are too many occasions in which we simply let life pass us by; too often we are stuck in the monotonous cycle of the everyday that we forget to enjoy all those seemingly bland moments which account for a lot more than we realize.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tend to think less extravagant happenings are the more amazing of the things I have done...for example, a simple sunset on a Spanish beach, or the perfect fall day with plenty of leaf crushing, that initial blast of cold wind when the outside world has finally turned to winter...I cherish those moments...
