CURRENT MISSION

To explore as many cultures and locations as possible while taking time in Europe to learn more about myself independently as a traveler; about my strength and my character.

ABOUT ME

Laid back, a true traveler, positive, always glad for a new experience and to meet new people.
I'm a quirky, fun-loving, spur of the moment kind of person. I take all the opportunities I can for a new adventure and I'm very driven and independent.

PHILOSOPHY

Love everyone, learn from everything, life is too short for negativity, and adventure always.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook a lot! All types of foods and I love to experiment and share.
I'm a musician so I love to jam openly with people, I play a bit of piano and sing quite a lot since I went to school for opera. I am also a photographer who loves to capture the real moments in life, the beauty in simple things and I have a fondness for the broken and derelict- so abandoned buildings are a favorite. I work with film and digital.
