ABOUT ME

My name is Carly and I just graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. I'm majoring in International Affairs and minoring in Latin American studies. I´m really friendly and tend to get along with everyone I meet.
I'm not an angry person, in fact most of the time I can't stop smiling. I love just walking down the street, wherever I happen to be, and seeing people smiling or laughing because it just gives me such a good feeling! I do get really passionate about politics though, and angry when I think about what's going on in this country and abroad. I'm really into talking with people about economics, politics, foreign affairs, literature, music, food, animals, their day, poop, hair color, life, etc. En todo caso, soy una persona muy agradable y sincera. Me gusta vida en general y todas las cosas magnificas en este mundo; especialmente me gustan a personas que me ponen contento. Quiero ver todo y encontrar la gente del mundo. Sin embargo, la cosa ultima es pasarlo bien!

PHILOSOPHY

"Obladi, oblada, life goes on bra, o lala how life goes on!"
