About Me

CURRENT MISSION

see, do, listen, love, learn, live.

ABOUT ME

I'd say, in general I'm a laid back, silly and curious individual who loves to CONNECT and learn by doing! I am studying Spanish language and psychology at Westmont College and am ONE semester away from graduation! :D
I was recently abroad in Spian and was fortunate enough to experience different cultures in Europe! Living with a host family in Spain helped me change my perspective on travel. I've become more appreciative of meeting people and experiencing new places with the locals, rather than simply seeing "the sights" and touring around. I really like being a tourist but I value it more when I am meeting people and learning about their lives, insights and cultures! What better way to get to know a city than through its people? :)

I travel simply, with only a backpack and a camera. I hope to use travel as a way to get outside my bubble and experience the people and customs that make up each little part of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Love God, love people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I moved to Sevilla, I was amazed by the beauty of the Cathedral and the Plaza de España. These places are incredibly designed and leave you speechless.
I spent a rainy day at the top of Machu Picchu with my dad two years ago and the place was oddly deserted. The design is brilliant and the scenery is breathtaking. I loved the adventure we experienced traveling there, going through the Andes towns and Cusco!
