Citizenship: USAI'm an 18 year old college student who decided to take off a semester and wander around Europe. I'm being accompanied by my boyfriend, Ruaridh, who has similar ambitions. Let's see... likes: coffee, wildlife, my pets, napping.. I say that since I'm exhausted, but still... classic rock, the ocean, aquariums, and herbal tea.
Hobbies:Writing, reading, wandering, traveling (hence the website)
Favourite places:I haven't been to a lot of places yet, so I suppose I'm yet to find them, but I miss New York. Seattle is also lovely, and I desperately want to go back to Greece!
