CURRENT MISSION

Go everywhere, meet everyone, do everything, or at least have a really good time trying to.

ABOUT ME

Third of four kids from a lovely family in charming Northern California. I love music, art, good food, great people...and generally have a good time with just about anything. I LOVE traveling, especially meeting the people in the places I go, so CS is right up my alley. I also love languages and spend all my time studying them, though I think I will never be able to speak anything competently other than English.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short and opportunities fly by. Live energetically, love passionately, be present in the moment.

All time favorite musician has to be Mozart, though.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Watched the bridges rising at 1 am in St Petersburg during the white nights with someone I loved.

Learned chess from an 80-year-old Russian man on the 36-hour train ride from Petersburg to Sochi.

Made a bonfire and fed stray dogs by the Black Sea at 4 am.

Also, once I traveled all over Germany and tried to film several pilot episodes to a history/travel tv show with my best friend. Learned a lot, saw a lot, and generally made such a spectacle of myself that I met a lot of interesting people.
