Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore. To dream. To discover.
ABOUT ME
I asked some of my best friends to describe me, because I often don't know what to say, they said that I am: sweet, kind, smart, active, happy, friendly, good to talk and be with and that I care about others around me both friends and others around the world, that I love to climb and I sometimes remind them of a mountain goat, though I don't think argan eating goats have too bad a life either, but that's another story.
PHILOSOPHY
"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death." - Robert Fulghum

Music, Movies, and Books
I like Bastille, One Republic and songs that I can sing along to on the radio, the movies I like depends on my mood; sometimes I feel like seeing a romantic comedy, sometimes something with action and adventure or something that I leave with a sense that I have grown wiser since I turned it on. The same goes for books; I like classics like pride and prejudice and the secret garden, but I also like YA dystopias, fantasy and historical romances.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am going to share a few amazing things: one time I remember was when I was waking up in the the Sahara desert (Tunisian part) in the middle of night, looking up wondering for a brief moment where I was only to realize I was looking up at thousands and thousands of stars, a sight more beautiful than I can ever begin to explain. Another time was in a mountain village in Nepal I was visiting with my school, we were there to speak with students our age at their school, it was at the top of the mountain and had 1200 students. We were standing there looking out over them singing their national anthem and there was this beautiful view of the Himalayas in the background and I remember feeling really small and, well, in awe. Surfing down from the top of Kili through the pebbles.
Teach, Learn, Share
I really want to learn how to play the guitar!
