ABOUT ME

What is there to say... I speak English, I understand and speak Russian(but not as well as English) and I am now learning Deutsch. I normally live in the US but now I and am studying abroad for a semester in Germany. I major in Biology. Currently I am attending Tuebingen University. I am not religious, I don't smoke and I am determined to improve my cooking. I am very interested in traveling to many places while I am here in Germany. I consider myself open minded and not too easily offended. I want to meet other people that are outgoing and interested in seeing new things--therefore I made this account! There are not too many places that I would not want to visit at some point. Too many places, but too little time, sadly. Well, that is all I can think of for now! Feel free to ask me more :)

Hmmm... Live and enjoy, but with a little moderation so as not to forget responsibilities!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not nearly enough, but Sagrada Familia in Barcelona was stunning.
I also saw Sea Urchin eggs under a microscope getting fertilized and then they began dividing!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have eggs, plain oatmeal and ripe yellow bananas, I will make you banana pancakes for breakfast. Bonus points if you have peanut butter lying around somewhere.
