About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Currently working as a UN intern in Quito, Ecuador

living and enjoying life. Meeting new people, places, and cultures.

ABOUT ME

Spontaneous, always down to meet new people, adventurous, etc... Its hard to quantify someone in a few words but I'm always happy to experience new things, places, and cultures. I love my family and close friends and will do anything for them.

PHILOSOPHY

Do it, be spontaneous. Follow your dreams, live and enjoy life, otherwise you'll wake up and half of your life will have passed you by.
