About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit as many places as I can while studying abroad

ABOUT ME

I'm 20 years old, purple/blue-haired, and always wearing floral print. I play on my university's rugby team and can't imagine life without it. I'm a live music junkie. Whether I'm there as a fan or working at a local venue, I'm at shows every night possible. I love exploring, getting on a bus and seeing where it takes me, and finding the lesser known treasures of a city. Oh, and I LOVE gnomes.

PHILOSOPHY

"Have your adventures, make your mistakes, and choose your friends poorly -- all these make for great stories." -Chuck Palahniuk

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a new traveler, my adventure is still in the works. One thing that I can't get over and never ceases to amaze me is the view out the plane window when I'm above the clouds, so close I swear I could touch them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Music and art. I want to share and learn about the music and art around the world. What's popular, personal favorites, local style, and it's influence on the community. At home, I do a lot of non-profit work for all-ages art. I'd love to learn what this looks like in communities outside of my own.

Sports, mostly rugby and soccer.
