I'm an adventurous soul, that loves exploring the world and the beautiful cultures that inhabit it. I love to climb, trail run and backpack. I grew up in North Carolina studied environmental biology in school, which led me to live and work in Aspen, CO as an environmental educator. I love bird watching and plant identification (yes, I know haha, nerdy) and cherish any opportunity to engage with nature. Currently traveling and working in New Zealand - hiking, backpacking and meeting wonderful people! I love good food, fun conversation and coffee!!
