Are you Italian?

I am, very much so. I studied abroad in Rome a couple of semesters ago. 

 

What is the coolest thing that happened while you were in Italy?

This wasn’t actually in Italy, but it was when I was studying abroad: I hitch-hiked from Paris to Brussels.  It was spring break. We flipped a quarter -either go North or go South- heads was North so we headed North.

Describe the perfect beach day:

Actually the perfect day at the beach…We camped out at Kaena point -it was a full moon- and had a fire, had a barbecue, laid out a sheet, slept on the beach, woke up and the moon was still there. Then in the morning there was dolphins and we swam with the dolphins. How cool is that? 

 

Tell me one of your fears:

Fear itself.

 

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life, what would it be?

I don’t know… I like a whole bunch of music but… you know how people turn to music? That’s really not my thing. I listen to a whole bunch of motivational speakers on like Soundcloud.
