CURRENT MISSION

development work in Romania for people with rare diseases and developmental disabilities

ABOUT ME

After Peace Corps in 2010 I plan on working in France on a WWOOF farm, in Norway at a rare disease center's summer camp with kids, and traveling in India for awhile. I'm not ready to head back to the U.S. after having an amazing two years living in Romania. Hopefully, end up somewhere in New Zealand at the end of the travels to link up with my brother who has been living there.

PHILOSOPHY

Avoid getting a real job.

Music, Movies, and Books

Just watched: No Impact Man, a documentary about a guy who wants to have zero environmental impact.

Reading the Rough Guides Travel to India book to plan my trip in September.

Listening to Corrine Bailey Rae, the White Stripes, the Gorillaz, Broken Bells and whatever else new comes my way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Village life in Romania. Truly the most hospitable and warm people I have ever met.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hitchhike whenever possible in Romania, gives you a chance to meet a lot of new people and get a cheaper ride than the bus or train. Still offer people a little money when hitchikng.
