ABOUT ME

We are two college students, Jami and Emily, who have just finished study abroad programmes in Europe and are now traveling around together. WE've been roomates since freshmen year and some people call us "jemili" to avoid figuring out which is which. Emily is a trumpet-playing musicology major, while Jami is majoring in anthropology. And even though she's from Iowa, she does not live in a corn field or go to shin digs. But she does enjoy corn dogs.

PHILOSOPHY

life is a gift from santa. or hannukah harry. so enjoy it, make the most of it, or just ask for a freaking target gift card next time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It might not seem amazing, but the past semesters we've spent abroad have been life changing. Emily lived in London where she learned about the culture and the arts, going to theatre, symphonies, art museums and on field trips around the UK. Jami lived with a family in Siena, taking courses in Italian language, art history and the European union. She traveled around Italy and experienced all sorts of different aspects of Italian culture.

Other amazing things:
Emily saw Chris Rock

Teach, Learn, Share

Jami teaches gymnastics and she's pretty damn good. And now she's learned italian! She can also make pretty good animal noises. Emily is an excellent scabble player, a good match in poker, and has learned all about Brahms.
