Camping on the spit in Homer, Alaska with mountains in the background and the most beautiful sunset I have ever seen; Cutting through the pass that leads to the treasury of Petra in Jordan; Being welcomed by song and dance in Narus, South Sudan

ANTARCTICA!! --- No words can express the beauty! I have never been more grateful for an experience, than I was to spend 19 days between the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of life, love and travel. Being a Midwest girl from the states, I didn't start traveling internationally until the age of 18. After that I couldn't be stopped and have now visited over 75 countries and have seen and done some amazing things.

Beyond that, my partner and I love food and have a passion for cooking foods from around the world.
