ABOUT ME

My name is Tim and I am currently an undergraduate student studying geography. Ever since I was little I've been obsessed with maps, history and discovering the unknown. In the past year I've had the opportunity to travel a lot in Europe. I wwoofed for two months last summer and had an amazing time learning new how to farm organically. Right now I am studying abroad in Bordeaux, France practicing my french and eating way too much bread. I loved exploring the sights and sounds of Europe but in the future I want to travel to Africa and Asia!!

In my spare time I like to work in the darkroom developing photos, read in my hammock on a summer evening or catch up with friends. I have a sudden desire to learn the guitar, so if that's a skill you have I'd love lessons!
