ABOUT ME

I am a full time college student at the University of North Carolia at Wilmington studying International Business and spanish. I currently am studying abroad at the University of Valencia in Spain. I intend to further my education here as well as improve my spanish.

Sports and the outdoors have been two avid hobbies of mine ever since I can remember. American football is my favorite sport by far. I enjoy going out as much as possible and have taken an interst in the many cultures of the world. I would like to travel as much as I can while I am young and to have a better understanding of different people and their culture.

PHILOSOPHY

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun"

-Christopher Johnson Mccandless "Into the Wild"
