My future as a traveler and linguist probably resulted from the fact that I moved with my family to Israel when I was just four years old. By the time I flew back to the US two years later I was bilingual, and I haven't stopped adding foreign languages to my arsenal and countries visited to my list since then!
Besides studying languages and traveling around the world, I also love participating in sports (especially baseball and triathlons), climbing mountains, taking pictures, blogging, and simply hanging out with my best friends!
