CURRENT MISSION

To figure out what to do...

ABOUT ME

I think I am a pretty simple person. I try to be the best version of myself that I can be. I am vegetarian and have a pretty simple diet, but sometimes I eat too many sweets. I study Latin and Ancient Greek as well as some Old English. I love history, especially the Classical and Medieval periods. I work with horses at the moment but love all animals. I'm shy but once you get to know me I am quite talkative. I love languages and think linguistics is fascinating.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the best version of yourself.
Be kind to others.
The world is too amazing to worry about silly things.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" -George Santayana

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for something you are not." -Andre Gide

"All things are subject to interpretation whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth." -Friedrich Nietzsche

"The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go" -Friedrich Nietzsche

"It doesn't matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going." -Brian Tracy

One of the best lessons of life is to become humbled each day by what you do not know.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

To meet people from all over the world to share in my adventures.

兴趣

I like the outdoors and really enjoy hiking and biking. But I also like to take long walks as I feel it clears my mind.

I love reading, I mostly read nonfiction books about Greek and Roman History and topics on the Middle Ages. I also love fantasy books such as Game of Thrones

I really like to bake sweet things like pastries, cakes, and pies. I also like to sew clothes and cross-stitch as well.

音乐、电影和书籍

I listen to any kind of music, I think it is nice to have an open mind about it as it is an art form. I played piano for a number of years and so I also enjoy classical music.

I read a lot of books. Too many to list here. I mostly read non-fiction now as I am a History student and read a lot of scholarly books. But some of my favorite novels are Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Pride and Prejudice, The Commoner, To Kill a Mockingbird, and any book by David Sedaris.
Some of the tasteful books I enjoy are: the Arthurian Legends, King Alfred, the Prose Edda, Ovid, Silence, Beowulf, The Illiad.

This last semester I read all of Antigone in the original Ancient Greek.
I'm currently working on translating Caesar's Commentaries as well!
