CURRENT MISSION

Traveling through South America for 4.5 months and meeting new people, experiencing different cultures, exploring different ecosystems, learning Spanish and just living simply and enjoying the adventure.

ABOUT ME

I just graduated from university in the United States. I studied environmental policy and am passionate about all types of envioronmental issues (climate change, water, energy, deforestation, transportation, sustainability, environmental justice). I am a total outdoorsy person and nothing makes me happier than getting out in nature and being active. I am incredibly grateful I have the opportunity to travel in South America now that I have graduated college. I love meeting new people, sharing a good meal, and going on new adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is interconnected. Live in the moment. Be kind. Smile.
