In honor of it being exactly one year since my flight to Brazil, I put my Snapchat videos together which to no extent come close to the best two months of my life. Thank you to AIESEC Franca, my adorable students, my international rainbow of friends and travelers who made it truly an incredible experience.

Breaking Up with Brazil and FALLing in Love All Over Again
Out of all the stupid things fairytales have taught us, the one that stuck with me was the idea of having only one true love in your entire existence- a single soulmate, or in Zeus’s words: your other half. Well, I’d like to call a big o’ fucking bullshit. As much as I hate to…
