I'm currently a rising undergraduate senior studying at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I'm majoring in Program in the Environment and Economics. I absolutely love traveling.
If it were feasible, I would travel as much as possible. I especially like to travel to places with very different cultures from my own. I love experiencing the people, social nuances, and languages of new places.
Favorite places so far...(not in any order)
- Paris
- Venice (Italy in general)
- Barcelona
- London
- NYC
- Monteverde

Cabinas Piscis "The rooms were spacious with a private bath with hot water, but the beds were pretty uncomfortable. There were no decorations so the place was very sterile.
