One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Yosemite National Park for a summer and it was the best experience of my life. I've hiked to the tops of waterfalls, rock climbed thousands of feet in the air, backpacked with marmots, and laid on top of granite cliffs where I swear you can feel the whole earth connected below you.

Teach, Learn, Share

thanks to being raised by teachers, I think I have a knack for communicating. I can draw, bake, camp, bike, make a newspaper, dance, think and wonder, and I would be happy to share any of those skills with you.
