ABOUT ME
Ahoy!
My name is Vince, I am from Charlotte, NC, USA and I have had two major travel abroad experiences. In 2010 I lived in Cairo, Egypt for a a semester at the American University in Cairo. In 2011 and 2012, I lived in Chengdu, China for a psychology research project. I worked as an English teacher and studied Mandarin. Through these experiences I have grown tremendously as a person. I wholeheartedly love to try new things, meet new people, and eat eat eat where ever I go!
One day, I will be a "Doctor Without Borders".
PHILOSOPHY
It's important to be open-minded and to treat others just as you would like to be treated.
