About me

Gender Female
Location South Carolina, United States
Introduction I'm a world-traveling, book-reading, tree-hugging, soccer-loving, adventure-having, joke-cracking, ever-learning twenty-something Registered Nurse, who clearly likes hyphens. These days I'm more "gitana" than nurse. My experiences, about which I pretentiously like to talk, include a semester abroad in Grenoble, France; a month-long medical Spanish program in San Jose, Costa Rica; a 10,000-mile, cross-country roadtrip; a month spent WWOOFing at a hostel in San Luis Obispo, CA; and miscellaneous other "quick trips" to various cities in the US, Canada, Barbados, and Western Europe.
Interests Travel, though "obsession" would be more appropriate than "interest;" The Great Outdoors, particularly kayaking, rock climbing, and snowboarding; adrenaline rushes; film and literature, from the greats to shameless pleasures that probably shouldn't even be in the same category (here's looking at you, Mean Girls); coffee, green tea, foreign foods, collecting beer and wine labels, foreign languages; college football, every level of soccer, NHL; cool shoes, bad puns, anything that glows in the dark, and using the most pretentious diction possible...
Favorite Movies Atonement, Hotel Rwanda, Fix, Albatross, Casablanca, Saving Private Ryan, Once, the Bourne trilogy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail...
Favorite Music Red Hot Chili Peppers, Death Cab for Cutie, Paramore, The Shins, Wolfmother, The Tallest Man on Earth, Metronomy, Broadway musicals (esp. Rent), miscellaneous movie scores and soundtracks...
Favorite Books The Alchemist; Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close; Atonement; How Soccer Explains the World; Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging; To Kill a Mockingbird; Eat, Pray, Love; A Prayer for Owen Meany; Michener, Rutherfurd...
