Hobbies

I have been a musician since I was 15, writing songs and playing guitar, bass, and ukelele. I love to incorporate music for learning as it enhances memory and makes learning fun. It is also fun to write poetry, and I love editing. I have studied French for over 10 years and Spanish for the past 2 years. I love foreign movies and travel, I studied abroad in the south of France, in Aix-en-Provence. I love social sciences, political science, sociology, psychology. I love to hike, swim, and hang out with my cat!
