What most excites you about India and Nepal? 

I am most excited to learn about the way the people live, to bride our cultural divide, and attempt to understand how they find happiness. I am intrigued by their lifestyles, values, and strong family ties and can’t wait to learn and explore in their fascinating country.

What is important to you? 

The happiness of those close to me is one of the things I most treasure in life. 

How would you spend your time, if money were no object? 

If money were no object, I would spend my days in the sky, flying helicopters and exploring new places, and my nights designing and building furniture. I live to learn new skills and trades would spend my life experiencing and creating beautiful things.

What do you want to be better at? 

I would like to be a better listener and communicator, and I know that this semester abroad will challenge me to do just that.
