Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To adventure, learn, and connect.
ABOUT ME
I am a creative and thoughtful soul, taking the opportunity of a lifetime to see the world this year as I study Spanish in Valencia. I want to absorb as much as I possibly can, and contribute to the chaos.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm a Seventh-day Adventist, but that's only a small part of who I am.
I believe very strongly that I am meant to connect with others, to give rather than take, and to love in ways that most would call foolish.
