I'm a graduate student in International Relations in San Francisco, and am taking the opportunity to see a bit more of the world before I begin to work full time. On a personal level I'm a progressive feminist vegetarian and I live to travel. When I'm not engrossed in international politics or the status of women, the environment and development, I like a cup of tea and a good book or a glass of wine and a good conversation.

I am always thinking of the places I've been and the places I want to go, and am determined to see them all in this lifetime. So far I've traveled around the United States and Canada; seen a bit of Mexico and the Caribbean; been to France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, England, Belgium, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Vatican City and Monaco in Europe; and visited Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei in Southeast Asia. On my short list of places to go after this summer is India, China, Japan, Singapore, Iran, Russia, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland; perhaps also Tunisia, Algeria, Afghanistan, Syria, Croatia, Slovenia, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Andorra and San Marino. I also wouldn't be against a trip on the trans-Siberian railway, or any railway for that matter.

Voyager c'est vivre!
