About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get an Italian passport. :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25 year old gal who would love to see everything and anything that the world has to offer. I am finishing up my Master's degree in Speech Pathology at Arizona State University. . . one year to go!

I'm currently studying Italian in Castelraimondo, Italy, and I absolutely love it. (for the month of July). I'm excited to backpack for 2 weeks after I leave this language school... with my newfound skill of speaking italian! (io provo... posso parlare un po!)

I love swing dancing, and will gladly teach a lesson to anyone who wants to learn. I love musicals - Wicked and Blue Man Group are two of the most incredible shows. They were absolutely mind blowing! If you ever get a chance to see them definitely do not pass it up. Rock climbing, playing tennis, going out, drinking tea and relaxing to jazz music, ATVing... I love it all. :) and I LOVE experiencing new traditions and meeting new people throughout Europe. Oh, and sitting in the Piazza Republica in Castelraimondo during the evening while eating gelato is currently my favorite thing in the world. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove from coast to coast in Florida, watching the sun set on one side of the state, then driving across Florida and watching the sun rise on the opposite coast! (Who needs sleep? :))

I also did an internship in Walt Disney World for six months... amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach anyone how to Swing Dance, or how to speak better English.

I'd love to share in the experiences you've had at the your favorite places and special spots that others do not know about.

I'm open to learning just about anything, and if it is something that you want to show/teach us then we are more than excited! I'm also learning Italian, and would LOVE to practice speaking.
