About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world! Salvar el mundo!

ABOUT ME

I was born in the USA, moved to Hong Kong when I was 11, and went to University in Dunedin, NZ. I have traveled southeast Asia and some of Europe with my family. After university I spent a couple years living in California and Oregon and then moved to Mexico for Peace Corps. I am currently back in NZ working and travelling. I have loved camping for as long as I can remember and have been passionate about working to save the environment since I started camping.

Nací en los estados unidos, crecí en Hong Kong, y asistí a la universidad en Nueva Zelanda. Me mude a México por trabajo con Peace Corps. Estoy apasionada acerca del medio ambiente - disfrutando la naturaleza y también preservándola.

PHILOSOPHY

Living the dream!
