ABOUT ME

I'm Tess aus Alaska as I'm known here in Germany. I grew up in a small town in southern AK and but spend more time in Seattle WA where I'm slowly trekking through the wilderness that is undergrad. I speak German which does me very little good outside of Europe, but it's a cool language anyway. Right now I'm studying abroad in Berlin which is a sick city and I'm having a great time.

oH. and I have a really fantastic talent. I can literally fall asleep anywhere. Bars? Parks? Clubs? absolutely.

PHILOSOPHY

I have a tattoo of the infinity symbol on my ankle. To me, that means that everything you do in your lifetime, good or bad, affects other people. like throwing a stone in a still lake. It has a ripple effect.
