ABOUT ME

23 years old, living in New Zealand since beginning of September. On a work visa, was planning on staying until February but that changed pretty quickly as I realized how amazing this country is! I wwoofed around NZ for 5 weeks, lived in Nelson and worked at a restaurant/ pub for 5 months, traveled both islands and am now on my way to Queenstown to finish up my time here with some skiing before they have to kick me out of the country.
Finished university in Fort Collins, Colorado, and loved it. Had some awesome experiences and amazing friends. Now it's time for something new here in the Southern hemisphere.

PHILOSOPHY

"20 years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. EXPLORE. DREAM. DISCOVER." -Mark Twain

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Switzerland for a year at 18 years old. Changed my life. Looking for more life changing experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

Love learning, music, and books. Traveling helps me get to know me more as well as places on this large planet. I like being reminded that I'm a small piece of this big earth. It's humbling to know how much I still have to learn.
