A college student majoring in Spanish and Linguistics, I revel in everyday adventures! ******
I love corny jokes, obscure foreign phrases, vagabonding, linguistics, paseos, notecards, etymology, photography, discarded books, mountaintop views, quotable quotations, scarves, espresso, maps, nonfiction, fiction, supermarket adventures, travel writing, flirting with the unknown, old-fashioned snail mail and all things crafty. ******
After a trip to Italy last summer, I realized that I love solo traveling! Not that I dislike people, mind you. There is just something exhilarating about traveling with no one but yourself. If you haven't tried it before, I would highly recommend it :)
