CURRENT MISSION

The world is a book, and those who have not traveled have only read the first page :)

ABOUT ME

I am a really easy going person who loves meeting new, interesting people. I love traveling (obviously!) and spending quality time in foreign places.

I am a huge advocate for studying abroad, I think that it gives you a new perspective of yourself, your country and of life in general.

I love adventure and believe that it can be found almost anywhere, it all depends on your attitude and with whom you surround yourself.

I am an optimist and I am not a huge fan of "Debby Downers".

PHILOSOPHY

"I have found that if you love life, life will love you back" -Arthur Rubinstein

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- I am a language person. I can offer you English and Spanish. I can also teach you how to make pancakes....

Learn- I am a language person. Right now I speak English and Spanish, but I would love to learn more! I cannot really think of many things that I would not like to learn about....(well maybe some)

Share- I can share with you all the crazy/amazing/awesome things I have done and seen in my life.
