About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. -Kurt Vonnegut

ABOUT ME

I'm 26, female, and trying to find my passion. I love to learn and love to travel and I love being outside.

PHILOSOPHY

Maybe you should kiss someone nice, or lick a rock or both. Put dirtballs in your pockets and take off both of your shoes. Cause people are just people, people are just people like you. -Regina Spektor

Music, Movies, and Books

I love them all: books, music, and movies. Harry potter and Vonnegut. Cloud Cult, Laura Marling, and folk music. Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) and Wes Anderson. These are some of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen and done so many amazing things, but then I consider many things amazing. One of the most amazing experiences I've had has been teaching science to children in Ghana. I think I might have learned more from the children than they learned from me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I just learned this: Tulips that are variegated or have several different striped colors are so because they have a virus. They're sick tulips, but we think they are beautiful!
