Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To explore the unknown and the familiar, distant and near, and to record in details with the eyes of a child, any beauty, horror, irony, traces of utopia or hell. -Dan Eldon
ABOUT ME
Just graduated from SCAD with a B.F.A. in fashion design. I love traveling more than anything and meeting people. I believe there are two kinds of people who roam the Earth, tourists and travelers and I am definitely the latter. I love adventures, especially spontaneous ones. Road trips are always a good choice. I wish I had a bit more money to travel more, I can't wait to graduate and get a job so I can continue traveling. Besides traveling, I like to design, read, cook, exercise, and I love animals.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe everyone deserves the right to be happy and to treat others as you would have others treat you.

Music, Movies, and Books
So many films! I'm a film buff! Mostly French New Wave and Foreign. I also like American epics. Music ranges from mainstream to classical to hardcore alternative to electronic indie. I love to read when I have time, I'm currently reading Three Cups of Tea and soon will start Life of Pi and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Road Dahl and Oscar Wilde are just a few of my favorites.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen a cow give birth next to a bridge in Rishikesh, India. I've gone camping on an island and swam for over 6 hours in the ocean in order to assuage my mosquito bites. I've scaled a convent building. I climbed a volcano mountain in Colombia (Nevado del Ruiz) when I was 11. I met Ray Liotta in a pharmacy in Munich,Germany and that was kind of crazy. Watching dolphins and a sunrise is pretty magical. There are so many things I still want to see/do.
Teach, Learn, Share
I have so so much to learn! I can teach you about something I suppose if you ask. I know some random things.
