CURRENT MISSION

Live while I'm alive!

ABOUT ME

I'm friendly, quiet, open-minded, and always ready for the next adventure.

Right now, I am traveling with my cousin (Rex) and dog (Gatsby, 50lb lab/pit mix) on a 6 month cross country road trip. We started up the west coast from Orange County and will make our way east before winter sets in. We've mostly been boondocking on public land and occasionally camping in National Parks. Highhlights so far have been seeing the wild flowers in Mount Rainer, connecting with strangers and exchanging stories of travel and life, and looking for new places to sleep in the forest each night.

I am passionate about psychology, travel, music, and social justice. I would love to meet more people who I can discuss and share stories of these topics with :).

About Rex: I am a 24 year old Trans*/genderqueer person who uses they/them pronouns (if you're unsure what this means I am happy to have respectful discussions about it). I am very invested in mental health and TLGB advocacy. I studied Sociology in undergrad and am now figuring out how I can use that to make a positive impact in the world. I love to hear about others lives and am happy to share my stories as well. I am also very invested in gender-based violence advocacy. My other interests include traveling, hiking, nature, photography, and animals. I am vegetarian and love to learn new things to cook :).
