About Me
CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
Since studying abroad in Italy my junior year of college I've had a case of wanderlust that I just couldn't ignore. After graduting from univeristy in 2012, I got a job at a mortgage company and worked 50-60 hour weeks doing the same thing day after day. In March 2014 I took a 2 week trip to Australia and finally felt alive again. 6 months later, I quit my job, left my condo, rented out my car and came back to Oz on a working holiday visa and haven't looked back since!
I met my Italian husband in Australia, eventually moved in with him in London for 3 months. We Brexited and took an 8 month honeymoon around India & SE Asia. I just moved to Seattle in May 2017.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is an adventure that we can choose to live and embark on or we can sit back and let it pass us by.
Do you choose to live or merely to exist?
I choose to LIVE.
I want to live the life I love and love the life I live. (cliche I know, but people often get caught up in living life the way society or others want them to live instead of ever doing what they truly want to do)
