About me:

Hi everyone! So I'm taking a break from Missouri in order to study abroad at the University of Chester in England! I'm very excited to live for a whole semester in another country. I will be living and taking classes with other English students, and so am VERY pumped.
Favourite travel experience:

My favorite experience was in El Salvador when I was playing a soccer game in front of a whole high school there. When I did a sweet move the whole crowd started chanting "Olay!! Olay!!" It was an amazing feeling.
