I am a problem solver & creative thinker. I am a curious observer. I love people watching & figuring out how people tick. I’m passion about research, strategy & collaboration. Consistently exploring the creative process.
I am a technology geek, I’m a musician, I’m a writer. I enjoy reading Craigslist missed connections. I’m horrible at repeating jokes, but I still try anyway. I speak English, Spanish & Spanglish. Learning Greek. Salsa dancing is a passion of mine. My best work frequently happens at 4 am.
so i am kyle schikles’ ex (sad) roommate and he has prompted me that you are moving to austin and, seeing as we share the oregon-texas connection (i’ve lived in AUS for three weeks now, that we should henceforth be friends. contact me anytime and we should definitely hang out when you get here, let me know if you need a floor (don’t yet have a couch) to crash on or anything.

Yes! Sluggos owner! I feel like a halfway know you already, Kristin talked about you a ton (= Thank you for your offer, it’ll be nice to know an (Oregon) familiar face! (=
Hey I randomly came across this blog when looking for blogs from Queretaro because I am studying there next semester. Just wanted to let you know that the few that I read made me even more stoked for the trip! thanks
That’s great – let me know if you have any questions (= I had the best time there…a little jealous you get to go! Que tengas un buen viaje!
Well im flying into Mexico city on my own and my Spanish sucks, but I assume theres a lot of buses running every hour to queretaro right?
Im going for a whole year–id like to hear what you liked most about your experience..did you go to the tec?
Nice! It shouldn’t be too much of a challenge – I flew into DF too – it’s pretty simple – after you get you luggage and go through customs, there are signs to busses…as long as you follow the signs and tell the people at the ticket counter that you want to go to qro, you’re good to go (= The bus to qro is actually really nice – super comfortable busses with a movie and they give you food! (far better than the us bus system, which might seem ironic).
that’s awesome you get a year there – i had four months which was great, but i would have loved a year. are you with a host family? which tec are you going to? the tecnologico or tec de monterrey? i didn’t go to either – i went to the uaq, but i heard good things about the other two schools as well.
what i liked about my experience? there is always something to do – always a celebration, parade, museum, etc…qro is a beautiful/clean city and it’s extremely easy/affordable to hop on a bus and visit another mexican city for the weekend (if you can, go to tequis, bernal, san miguel, pachuca, aguascalientes, patzcuaro…to name a few (= ) there are alot alot of clubs/bars/restaurants etc. and people my (our?) age seem to be alot more friendly/accommodating/inclusive down there and really actually love to include the foreign exchange students, whether that’s just at school, or taking us out, showing us around, inviting us over to their houses, etc….so yes? hopefully that helps a bit??
Sounds awesome! Yeah I am staying with a host family upon arrival for 2 weeks and I think I am going to try and find an apartment with other students. I’m going to be at the Tec de Monterrey taking classes towards my international relations major. thanks for the city names that i should visit, im definately going to travel everywhere including possibly cuba during my winter break. thanks for the info!
That sounds great! My art professor was from the tec de monterrey…I never went there, but she was excellent. I believe that is a private school, correct? Anyway, you’ll love it either way – buena suerte y que tengas un buen viaje! Dime si hay mas preguntas (=
