I am a Midwest Native but have lived all over! I got the travel bug when I was 21 and studied abroad for 6 months in Wollongong, Australia. Since then, I've lived in the bay area of California, Costa Rica, and Philadelphia. I have been to 6 of the 7 continents! I work with kids with special needs when I'm not traveling. I am currently making my way with my 2 adorable cats from the East Coast to California to have my car shipped over because I am moving to Hawaii! Mahalo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I packed a backpack and sold everything and bought a one-way ticket to Costa Rica without a place to live or job! Best decision to this day.
