About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring America!

ABOUT ME

Just so everyone knows, I'll put this at the top. I am traveling with my DOG, Sierra. She is an amazingly friendly 50lb yellow lab/siberian husky mix. She can stay outside or in the car if need be, but I wanted to make sure that was known to all.

As for me, I am an outgoing person, easy to get along with, honest, respectful, always looking to have fun. My mom was a travel agent when I was growing up, so I have been a good number of places, but I am always trying to expand that. I recently completed the first half of the Appalachian Trail, hiking from Georgia to New York. I am now traveling by car across the country in search of any new and fun experience I can find. I got a national parks pass and will be hiking, biking, exploring all the parks and cool places I can find. I am always looking for people to join me or offer me a place to shower, crash, whatever you can to help out my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music I can go anyway with. The only genre I'm not well versed in is country, but I'm in no way opposed, just not my thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking 1,300 miles of the Appalachian Trail this last spring was pretty amazing, I've been to New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, UK, Italy, France, Scotland, Cuba, St.Barths, Puerto Rico, and around a lot of the US

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a LOT about backpacking and would happily talk gear and travels with anyone, all day!
