I'm very much a kid at heart, also curious and carefree. I love to explore, laugh, and learn new things. I'd rather do something than watch something on most occasions. I'm a teacher and graduate student, but sometimes I pretend I'm a chef, athlete, social scientist, or marine biologist. Wandering, food, and drinks are my favorite ways to explore new places. I think simplicity, kindness, and authenticity are pretty cool. Random facts are my favorite, and I genuinely love long walks on the beach, a lot.
