CURRENT MISSION
I believe we should strive to be our best, most healthy selves and to encourage that in others.

ABOUT ME
I'm an upbeat, quirky and supportive person who's job takes up a good portion of time. (Wilderness Therapy Field Staff) On my off time I enjoy participating in something creative, being outside or just relaxing with those I care about. I also do a good bit of work in my garden. I've been in the Asheville area since 2014 and I love it! Its a great place to call home.

I was born and raised in a small town in the south (GA). After college I went to Latin America for 1.5 years and then thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2013.

Last big trip was to Iceland, Ireland and Scotland in 2015. (I turned 30 while I was there!) Did some hiking, wild camping (stealth camping) and sight seeing.

Going to Peru in April and super excited about it! after that... maybe the PCT or bicycling across the country or backpacking through Central/South America....

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Midnight hike up Santa Maria, a 12,375 ft. Guatemalan volcano, reaching the top just in time to see the most beautiful sunrise. Breath-taking.

教，学，和分享

I like food, crafts, science, tea and nature. I like learning how to live sustainably and repurpose or make the things I need. I want to be self-suficient. Sewing, crochet, art, yoga, making soap, cooking, baking, using natural remedies, etc. I like the idea of homesteading/ living off the grid. I'm looking to get rabbits in the future so I would not need to purchase meat and animal products.
