About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Continue experiencing life by traveling and meeting people around the globe

ABOUT ME

Let's see....so much to say, so little room! haha I'm not really sure what you'd like to know but I'll start with the fact that I love traveling and I've been fortunate enough to do a good amount so far. I have many more places to visit and lots of time to get there! In fact, I'm going on a backpacking tour around Europe this summer that I'm very much looking forward to.
I'm full of energy, enjoy having fun and joking around - after all, life is too short to take too seriously. I'm passionate about the environment and supporting local small businesses. Since finishing school, I read a lot to not only entertain myself but to continue learning.

PHILOSOPHY

I always say, "I do what I can with what I got." Excess is wasteful.
The best way to truly live life is to live with an open mind. How else can you understand others?
One of my favorite quotes is "When you make peace with yourself, you make peace with the world" -Maha Ghosananda

Music, Movies, and Books

Love, love, love music and books! I listen to pretty much every type of music on a daily basis. As for books, I prefer non-fiction since it fosters my love of learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'd have to say it was pretty amazing to enjoy the views from the St George Chapel, Mars Hill, and Filopapou Hill in Athens. So much history, beauty and life compacted into a relatively small area. Absolutely breathtaking :)
