Originally from Milwaukee, WI but have caught the travel bug at a young age. After going to school in Boston I spent two years in AmeriCorps NCCC, doing a variety of community service projects all over the Southwest United States. After moving around every two months doing different types of work, by boyfriend Zac and I decided to keep the adventure going...this time in South America.

I've been fortunate enough to travel around the United States and a but internationally as well. My travels have brought me great sights, new perspectives, fantastic people, and a whole lot of fun.
