CURRENT MISSION

I just moved to Meudon (20 minutes from Paris) from Brooklyn and am looking to travel throughout Europe while I'm here as much as possible. Would love to meet other interesting people along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living with and helping plan the daily activities for a woman with Alzheimer's disease. I'm splitting this job with a good friend so we can give each other time off to do some traveling while we're here. I love my work but also need quality time away from it to keep my sanity. Would love to meet interesting people in Paris and other European cities that I hope to visit while I'm here.

PHILOSOPHY

Still figuring this one out. I figured moving to another country, traveling and meeting new people and new cultures is probably the best way to do this.
