CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people, live it up.

ABOUT ME

Oh where to begin! I am from Tucson, Arizona, known for the most beautiful desert, the Sonoran Desert. Being what is known as a "desert rat" I had an early need to explore other diverse environments. I moved to Belgium for foreign exchange when I was 16 and I have never stopped. After experiencing Europe and many parts of Latin America, I have decided to challenge myself further and head to Southeast Asia on my own. Although I am terrified at the idea of traveling by myself, I think this will be an amazing experience and I am so excited about meeting interesting and amazing people along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to make every experience a learning experience and live my life with compassion and positivity.
