ABOUT ME

I love to travel and experience new cultures and meet new people. I have been able to visit numerous countries in Africa, Central America, and Europe.

I am a Peace Corps Volunteer. For the next 27 months, I will be educating the local Ethiopian community on HIV/AIDS.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have traveled to rural Zambia for 7 weeks to do service and immerse myself into another culture.

After Zambia, I traveled by myself to Cape Town to stay with a family I have never met for 4 weeks. Needless to say, they are definately considered my family now. They are such amazing and welcoming people, especially to a stranger.

In August 2009, I will be moving to Africa for 2 years through the Peace Corps. I am really excited to do this!
