I am currently at the University of Edinburgh but I study education policy back in the States. I oversee an organization that brings volunteers to teach English in different countries, and got to traveling this summer with the program. I have had experience at a few different non-profits where I realized that I am passionate about learning and meeting new people....hence why I am on here (:

Meeting people new people is the best way to travel! I'm new to the site but I hope to meet up soon (:
