ABOUT ME

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences.”
-Eleanor Roosevelt

I am someone that is looking to open myself up to new experiences, see new things, discover more about other people that live on this Earth we all share- so large yet so small. I love learning about other people and the things they've seen, done, are currently doing and what their interests are.

I can initially seem quiet or appear reserved when meeting new people, but when I open up people realize that I can have a pretty goofy sense of humor and adventurous spirit. There are times when I feel like getting my dance on at a club to let loose/get a little crazy and there are moments where I don't feel very talkative. But most of the time I love being with people and sharing different things with them. =)))

I'll be honest, I'm terrible at filling out "about you" sections, so the best way to know all about me is to meet me in person. I would love to meet anyone reading this. =)

PHILOSOPHY

Hakuna Matata- it means "no worries"

"Be the change you want to see in the world."

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

This may sound whimsical, but I think every day that I'm alive and able to live the life I'm living is amazing. Within each day, no matter if it's a typical mundane day or a day of adventure and travels, I try to cherish every moment. Being alive is incredible- appreciate every moment.

教，学，和分享

I want to learn more German and Spanish- build up my vocabulary, work on my grammar, etc. I would love to find language partners during my travels!! And if anyone wants help with their English, just let me know! I'd be more than happy to meet up and work on it.
