interests

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:00:00 -0400

My intention in the coming years is to attend graduate school for a Master’s in a field relating to Public Policy and Urban Planning.

Traveling is something I love to do. I try to take every opportunity.

I love experiencing new cultures.

I enjoy city life but also spending time outdoors. Canoeing, kayaking, camping, swimming, running, biking. I am a pretty active person.

A longing of mine is to live in a city where owning a vehicle is not necessary. Where a car is not the most convenient mode of transportation.

I enjoy photography and regularly update a flickr account.
