ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm a hard working 26-year-old medical student who loves to travel and explore the world. I'm very easy going and friends would describe me as the kind of person everyone gets along with. I'm almost always in a good mood and enjoy meeting new people from all over. I love visiting new places, finding yummy spots to eat, going on adventures, sports, and bursting out into spontaneous handstands. If you have any of the same interests we'd probably get along great. I look forward to meeting you, feel free to let me know any questions you have about me!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest and travel as much as possible:)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Chick flicks are my favorite. At the end of a long day, I love sitting down and watching something silly/sappy like Love Actually, How to Lose a guy in 10 days, or a Disney movie.

Music: I love country music, from Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood to The Band Perry and Lady Antebellum. I also listen to top 40 pop music.

Books: My favorite book is Magic Hour by Kristen Hannah.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Iceland in general. Just amazing and so unique from anywhere else I've been. I actually had an exchange student from there in High School that got me into traveling in the first place, so I've been over there to stay with her family a few times now and each time it's just as magical.
2. The jungle in Ecuador. I loved seeing all the unique animals and spending time in the rainforest. I was there for medical volunteer work and we got to set up clinics in some of the local villages with only a couple hundred people. It was awesome making a little bit of a difference and getting them the care they needed.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a former gymnast and would be happy to teach you a cartwheel or handstand-I've taught my roommate and she says I'm a very good teacher:) Also, I'm a med student so I'd also be happy to tell you random medical facts if you're interested! I love to learn and would be very interested to learn whatever skill you have to teach.
