About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Cultivate to travel more! More travel makes me cultivate!

ABOUT ME

I am a born and raised Alaskan gal who loves to be outside. I have spent the last 8 years of my life living in a ski resort town in Girdwood which has the resort called Alyeska. It has and will be n the future a blast! I am crazy and whacky and funny only in English (C'est dommage). I am very outgoing and love to talk to people. I am curious of all the countries in the world and the cultures. I want to see every country before I die and that is my only set life goal. I will travel for the rest of my life. I graduated college with an International Studies degree with a french language focus, a minor in Social Welfare and another minor in Alaska Native Studies. I pieced together a few things so I could move forward doing Community Development. Maybe one day this will lead me to traveling and working. One never knows... It did as right now I am teaching english in Taiwan. Woot woot!

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you want to be treated. Don't be afraid to help others because you never know when you will need it. It is called Kharma. She is a bitch and will catch up to you one day. I live my life to my fullest. I have a strong Alaska Native upbringing that keeps me connected to the earth so I have lots of respect for her and what she does for all.

Music, Movies, and Books

All - too much to say... My motto: Watch very little television, dance and enjoy your favorite music, and read something - anything - forever and never stop expanding your mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took the longest railroad from Hong Kong to Helsinki Finland and enjoyed every moment of it. Put my hand in the Arctic Ocean. Volunteered for others. Overcome the odds of life even when difficult and kept to my morals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to become a better traveler. I want my boundaries to be broken and built up again. I want to learn for the rest of my life. I want to help others.
