Places I want to go to: 
I'm so close to Nicaragua and Panama right now that those have to be my next two destinations. I'd love to see Thailand, New Zealand and Egypt as well.

 
About me: 
I just graduated from the University of Georgia with a degree in Psychology (and Spanish minor). This summer I went backpacking all over Europe with 3 of my best friends for 6 weeks. I was home in Georgia for the fall, and now I'm teaching English at the Universidad Interamericana in Heredia, Costa Rica. I'll be here for a year. I'm passionate about being a world citizen and hope to live into that role as much as possible in my life.
