CURRENT MISSION

Improve my Spanish, make new friends, see beautiful places, meet all the cats in the world, learn from experience, teach.

ABOUT ME

I am 28. I'm from Brooklyn, NY, born and raised. My favorite things to do are write, travel, read, listen to music, draw and paint, talk and laugh. I also love a really good meal, board game, beer, movie, mango, dream, song, and photograph.

I am a teacher, but that doesn't mean I think I know the right way to do anything! I believe that there is no right way to do most things, so when I travel I'm searching for different ways of doing things, of thinking and of experiencing the world.

PHILOSOPHY

"I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see." - John Burroughs
