ABOUT ME

Gather the crumbs of happiness and they will make you a loaf of contentment.

There's not much to say, other than I like to be active, I like to travel, I love to learn, and I would consider myself a liberal tree hugger. My favorite hobbies are music, playing, listening, singing, you name it.. hiking, traveling, conversing. I enjoy meeting many people and sharing and learning about different cultures. I believe our mission in life is to make the world a better place for those around us. I like to read and write and love learning languages. I speak English, Spanish and decent French.

PHILOSOPHY

"What do we live for, if not to make the lives of those around us better."

I believe the world is a work of art, painted by our voices and above all actions, treat others how you would be treated. Never look down upon someone unless you are helping them up. When you have stopped learning, you have stopped living. I love to breathe. If I'm in nature, I'm happy.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are the lord of the rings. Some favorite music includes Modest Mouse, Bon Iver, Iron & Wine, Mumford & Son and a lot more . . . my favorite books are the series Pendragon by D.J. MacHale. I also like Jared Diamond and of course Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done some amazing travelling and seen famous sights like the Eifel Tower, the Mayan cities of Tikal and Copán, Big Ben, the Matterhorn, but better than the views I've seen are the people I've met. I taught English in El Salvador for 8 months and the bonds I had with my students, my host family and the country were incredible.
