After finishing graduate school with savings left over, I realized that I had nothing stopping me from fulfilling my dream of exploring the world. I quickly put my charity project on hiatus and began working odd jobs across the globe in search of adventure, understanding and whatnot. I instead found lifelong friends, heartbreak, intestinal parasites, and a realization of who I am.
I'm currently writing a travelogue, Where Am I?, which will be released later this year. It details the amazing places, people, and misadventures I have found during two years of volunteering, plus stories detailing how culture shapes daily life around the world.
