About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live Life to the Fullest!

ABOUT ME

Foremost, I love, and am slightly addicted to, traveling. It's my personal belief that in order to become more open minded and better understand each other, we have to be proactive, get out of our comfort zones, and explore the world. Life's too short to be provincial; there are so many diverse people, places and things to see in this world, it'd be a waste of a life to only know your own habitat. I'm excited for all the adventurous times to come from my couchsurfing adventures! Hang Loose!

PHILOSOPHY

USA all the way! Haha, just kidding. Like I said earlier, I'm very cosmopolitan in my beliefs, and have a particular disliking for closed mindedness. I also like to try and make people laugh, try being the keyword. Honestly though, I aim to be a good ambassador and representative for the USA. I know we have a bad rap abroad, and many people aren't too happy with our foreign policy at the moment, but I hope that through meeting me, you'll realize that not all Americans are fat, stupid, loud, and gun hungry.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I really enjoy math, so I'd like to advocate how awesome it can be when you approach it from the right angle. Be it basic algebra or galois theory, I'm eager to discuss the rich beauty and elegance that is the queen of the sciences!
