About Me

CURRENT MISSION

experiencing life!

ABOUT ME

I am a young female in search of my place on this world. I love cultures, hence why I am studying anthropology. I want to learn as much as I can, and I hope to accomplish this by not only being educated in a classroom setting, but also by traveling around the world and gaining knowledge through actual experiences. While studying and traveling, I like to promote environmentalism as much as possible. I love the environment and wish I could do more to help it. Outdoor activities are the best; hiking, camping, backpacking, canoeing, kayaking, etc etc. I also really enjoying coaching and playing both basketball and lacrosse.

PHILOSOPHY

No Regrets
Live in the moment

Living a full life is the ultimate! Second guessing and questioning everything is not the way to live. Of course, one needs to make smart decisions, but mistakes are just crazy learning experiences. Taking a wrong turn only leads you to a new place. The world is a magnificent place and I just want to see and experience as much as I can.
