About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To have some adventures worth writing about
ABOUT ME
I am a journalism student at Temple University. I have just gone back to school after taking three years off to travel all around the world. It was the best time of my life!! I aspire to be a foreign correspondent, but in the meantime I bartend to pay the bills :) I love meeting new people and learning about different lifestyles and cultures. Travel is so dear to me heart and I love meeting fellow explorers and encouraging others to travel!
PHILOSOPHY
"Ever better." Work every day to become a little bit better version of you! Aim to be happy in your day to day actions instead of banking on future happiness; life is too short. Be kind to other creatures and the universe will be kind back. Don't establish too much of a routine because what fun is that? Give back. Work hard but take time to see the beauty in the simplest things.
