Hi there, I'm an avid learner, get to knower, explorer, climber, cyclist, fellow human. From the Midwestern US, I just finished my studies as a history major and am getting ready for graduate school to be a science and environmental journalist. I love writing and being outside so I figured it would be a good match! Although I love meeting new people, I am pretty quiet and introverted. I'd love to do social things, be shown around, especially in a foreign country. But I also love time to just be alone and soak it all in. I'v been described as an everything enthusiast, meaning I'm curious and passionate about almost anything!
