CURRENT MISSION

To be a good person

ABOUT ME

I spend my time biking through the city--sometimes with a destination in mind and sometimes not. I like stumbling upon new street art or abandoned old buildings that still have a regal beauty to them.
I'm a journalist- by choice and by nature. I am curious about everything. I was bitten by the travel bug at an early age. Now all I want to do is be a travel writer.

PHILOSOPHY

What really makes my life engaging is discovering those new places or meeting new people and having that be something I never could have planned for.

My personal philosophy is everything happens for a reason.

Interests

surfing the waves (or couches), swing dancing, fields and spring, gluten-free and vegan foods, playing keyboards or dancing to some sweet electronic synth-ie jams, yo.

I also like cracking j's (cracking jokes. cracking j's sounds crazier is all.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching a crane lift a band of French carnival musicians, La Compagnie Trans Express, over a street at the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts. I can't describe how beautiful it was. I've never seen anything as wonderful as that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy meeting people curious about the world and the places in it. Also, people who just enjoy some of the simple things like biking into the sunset. Really I love learning. It's why I am a journalist.
