CURRENT MISSION

I am a teacher and student in Milano, who is looking to explore Europe and to travel as much as I can on the weekends during my year here in Italy!

ABOUT ME

I consider Chicago my home. I am a born traveler. I LOVE airports and train stations, passports, and languages.

PHILOSOPHY

You can either submit to course of your life, or decide to forge one for yourself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have witnessed was the top of the jungle from a Mayan temple in a Belizean rainforest. It was breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I have learned very recently is to always leave open the possibility of change. In this life especially now, it is important to be versatile. Always have not only a Plan B, but a Plan C, D, and E. The more open you are to multiple possibilites, the less disappointment you will suffer. It's not being pessimistic, nor even realisitc, but prepared.
