CURRENT MISSION

I'm studying in Budapest this year. My main goal is to travel and see all of this beautiful contient while I have the change :) Also and perhaps more importantly, to meet lovely people who share the same passion for life and travel as me :)

ABOUT ME

Full-time student--to be certain, I thoroughly enjoy the simple things in life: a good cup of coffee (or a pot ;)), good food, wine, beer, and friends. I find physical activity to be the best stress relief, furthermore I've always been a sports fan and fitness for that matter. I'm a great cook and am always happy to make a great meal for someone, anyone really :). I find people to be very interesting and therefore I love listening and getting to know lovely people!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday we may face hardship but the future holds light. Keep walking and you will find happiness :) I've a quite positive person and prefer to surround myself with like-minded positive people as well. I think that people always need encouragement and positivity to function to their utmost capabilities :)

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies..though I'm not into thrillers much. I love historical fiction, such as Ken Follett, but nowadays I have so much reading for classes and seminars that I rarely have time for pleasure reading. As for music, I really do enjoy most types; you'll be hard-pressed to really evoke a negative response from me in that category.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed Mt Humphrey --Flagstaff, AZ I left my life in Pittsburgh behind and set out to Budapest to learn about nationalism and ethnicities :)

Teach, Learn, Share

anything! teach me new words and language! or as I prefer, share with me new beer, wine and foods :) Take me to your highest mountain, I'm a good hiking buddy :)
