About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To get out in the world and experience everything that this planet has to offer!
ABOUT ME
I am from California but have been traveling to France my whole life in the summer. I can speak French English and Spanish and I have traveled in Spain and France as well as Mexico and the US.
I am from a small beach town and so I love the ocean and the water. I love sports, especially water sports such as swimming, surfing, water polo among others.
I went to school in Santa Barbara and spent four years there studying Biochemistry so I really like science as well. Its also a little bit of a party school so I definitely know how to have fun!
I really like to meet people and joke around with them and get to know them. I am a very outgoing person and fun to be around. I like going out to dance, drink, and have a great time while making new friends.
PHILOSOPHY
I like to believe that everyone in the world is interesting and has a great story to tell. As long as you approach them as an open person who doesn't judge them for who they are or what they have done then they will open up to you. Everybody is unique and has different experiences and you can talk to them and learn about their past and who they are. I love meeting new people and I am always open to experience new things. I live my life knowing that everything will turn out alright as long as I look at everything with a positive attitude and this has allowed me to have some of the best experiences and stories ever. I am always up for doing something new and meeting new people to do them with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I have ran with the bulls in Pamplona on three separate occasions and partied there for the San Fermines. This is an experience that is unforgettable seeing as how you are putting your life on the line while running in front of those huge bulls!
Teach, Learn, Share
I am not a seasoned traveler but I know that if you are always open to new experiences and are always optimistic than it is impossible to have a bad time. I have been in crappy situations before but when I was there, I always told my self, "Hey at least this is going to make a great story!" If you are confident that everything will turn out well and have a positive attitude then you are bound to have an amazing time!
