CURRENT MISSION

Listen, Learn, Love...and Be Useful

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious cheerful person and love long talks, making people laugh, drinking a good cappucino, walking side streets, "roofing", reading aloud, telling stories, and discoveries. I study Classics at my university. I have wanderlust right now and am aching to explore the world, meet people, travel the side roads, and experience lots of cultures. Though I can seem a little reserved at first, I enjoy adventure. (Though I am not really a partier). Also, I love to hear about all the nooks and crannies people discover- and I especially love seeing them!

PHILOSOPHY

People are the most marvelous interesting things on this wonderful planet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable experiences was back-packing the John Muir Trail (225 miles) in California: the view at its end, Mt. Whitney (tallest peak in the Continental US) was unforgettable.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook, and my mother has passed on to me some great recipes. I would love to swap recipes with people- I'm always looking for tasty new dishes!
