About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in Barcelona and hope to be traveling around Europe in the coming months. I'm creative, imaginative, and wacky if I need to be? Mostly by finding comedic/ironic elements in anything and sharing my bizarre thoughts.

ABOUT ME

I'm a hungry consumer of culture. I love traveling and discovering alternative ways of living and new music, food, etc, etc.

I grew up in a house in the woods in Oregon (in the best city on the planet). If you've been to Portland, you know how that is possible to still be 10 minutes away from downtown.

I love the arts. I'm studying psychology but home to one day paint my degree in beautiful colors and be exhibited at a modern art museum. I am obsessed with film and theatre--have been fortunate enough to have recently traveled to New York and seen a bunch of shows. I religiously listen to The Moth podcast. I don't always read the news, but I try to, and I get into it when I do. I love talking to anyone about anything as long as they are passionate and willing to share and be challenged. I love comedy--I believe I have a good sense of humor, but many just find it bizarre. I love urban environments and I'm really good at 90's pop culture.

Above all, meeting and forming relationships with many people is of the highest importance to me. I am excited to meet more from around the world!
