CURRENT MISSION

To make Oregon my home and survive grad school in the mean time.

ABOUT ME

Nomad by nature. I come from a long line of carnies, and this nurtured a love for the open road and experiencing new things. I love to meet people and hear their stories. I am an outgoing nature nerd and art enthusiast. Sharing is Carrie!

PHILOSOPHY

Any book by Tom Robbins [Jitterbug Perfume]! I'm a sucker for classics by Salinger, Fitzgerald, etc. I'm a Harry Potter fan. I love to read, so please, send me reading suggestions!

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Princess Bride, Wet Hot American Summer, and most documentaries about artists, revolutionaries, aliens or science/nature/space.

As for music... too much to list, but anything that makes me dance. I also love me some good soul mmmm mmm

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the sunrise over temple 5 at Tikal after waking up at 3:30 am, an hour and a half shuttle ride, and a mad dash with 200 other tourists through the jungle and up about 6 flights worth of stairs... entirely worth it! The view was magical, and we got to hear all the howler monkeys screaming as they woke up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you a little yoga and share what I know about cooking and eating healthy.

"The Great Secret: one has not only an ability to perceive the world but an ability to alter his perception of it; or, more simply, one can change things by the manner in which one looks at them." [Tom Robbins, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues]
