ABOUT ME

Find out more about me on my blog...

http://chaosinpatterns.blogspot.com/

I moved 9 schools in 7 cities in 4 countries between kindergarten and 12th grade and hated always being the new kid. Now there's nothing more I love than moving somewhere new and experiencing something completely unique and unpredictable. Lived in USA for the past 10 years...currently living in Moscow, Russia for a short term work assignment.

I recently turned 26 and made a bucket list of 30 things to do before I turn 30. Making the list was both a scary and exhilarating experience!

When people ask me where's home... I say everywhere and nowhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up to see the sun sweeping through banana fields from a mud hut in the hills of Uganda where I was living with a family who had no running water or electricity but lots of generosity and warmth... those are the moments that make everything worth it!

Taking a surfing lesson in Costa Rica when I can't swim :/

Traveled to 6 out of 7 continents

Went skydiving to get over my fear of heights!!
