CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am 20 years old and currently traveling, and sometimes studying, in Spain! I want to travel as much as possible during my year in Europe! I love meeting new people, and I have a passion for life! I want to spend this year really figuring out who I am, and what it is I really want in life! I love going out until the sun rises, but I also equally enjoy a quiet night at home, or stroll through the city streets! I have a lot to learn, and I think everyone has a little something to teach!

PHILOSOPHY

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." M. Scott Peck

If you're being run out of town, get in front of the crowd and make it look like a parade.
~Author Unknown

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating-in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life."
--Anne Morriss

"Why are we inspired by another person's courage? Maybe because it gives us the sweet and genuine surprise of discovering some trace, at least, of the same courage in ourselves." --Laurence Shames

It's not about how much time you spend together; it's what you do with the time you do spend together.
