Fun Facts
Learning about other cultures fascinates me, and so I have many friends from all around the globe I enjoy spending my free time with. I also have a lot of hobbies, including piano, collecting music, and playing unique board games. On my more adventurous days, I like back-packing, urban exploring, and rock climbing. However, in August, 2014 I was hiking (safely, mind you!) when I slid and fell off a 50 foot high cliff, breaking my foot. Fortunately, I am well on the road to a full recovery!
