ABOUT ME

I have been living in Germany since May 2009, and I am loving life abroad. The pace of life, quality of food, and overall experience has been a breath of fresh air! I love to travel, LOVE to cook (I read recipes and food blogs avidly), when it comes to literature I like to attempt to tackle the classics. I am extremely laid back and up for anything. The beach is always calling my name, but I never cease to be amazed by a mountain landscape. I love learning new languages, and I have a new found confidence in my language learning skills since picking up German. I am currently battling between continuing my traveling lifestyle or buckling down for a career job...For the next upcoming month I'll be traveling with some best friends, and I'm looking forward to trying out CS for the first time.
