ABOUT ME
My favorite thing is to ride my bike to a park and accidentally fall asleep while reading a book.
No wait, my favorite thing is to cook and eat new and interesting foods over dinner conversation ranging from feminism to ocean ecology.
No, no, wait! My FAVORITE thing is to study foreign languages and listen to music in those languages and sing along.
My favorite thing is when I get home after traveling a long time and my dog is so happy to see me, or maybe my favorite thing is the desert, or maybe my favorite thing is living in a world where I don't have to play favorites.
PHILOSOPHY
for me, life is about sharing experiences and reacting to the world in a compassionate way. i try to do both of these things as much as possible, and also work to make it possible for other people to have the opportunity to do the same.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I rode my bike across the united states!
Teach, Learn, Share
I spent two years volunteering and working on the US-Mexico border, mostly at a humanitarianian aid station in the desert, and would love to tell you about it. I am also very interested in and fairly knowledgeable about Salvadoran history, so I am happy to take in or share information about that. I also love to practice ANY language with anyone!
