About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To love and live my life, meeting awesome people along the way!

ABOUT ME

I am a young outgoing and energetic person, so if you host me I am more than excited to participate in whatever you want to show me! If thats not your thing and you are just letting me stay, that is fine too. I love existential conversations and learning new ways to live my life through different cultures. I love learning (although not languages) and if I find out something interesting I will pursue it as fully as possible. I am really liberal and like to put my beleifs into action. I am a pescatarian - I eat fish, but no other meat. What else, I enjoy people who are not cut in a mold and like to be themselves.

I am currently a student studying abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark, and go to school in Connecticut. I love discussing alternatives to capitalistic institutions, adventuring, and hearing peoples stories. Dinner parties are one of my favorite things in the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bathed in natural hot springs in the parvati valley (in the himolayas) with Sadhu's (holy men who have picked up a life of wandering and soul searching without possessions)while backpacking alone in northern india for a month.
Met Dave Chappelle on the Street in NY, really nice guy.
Met Bill Clinton.
Driven in the wrong direction for 5 hours and then continued to go on to see where the road would take me.
Swam in the Charles river (gross I know).
Camped on the Beach.
Floated in the dead sea.
I have done a ton of amazing things, but talk to me and hear some stories
