Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Educating kids through travel and animal welfare. I believe introducing students to different lifestyles and cultures helps to make them well rounded adults. We travel the world with our rescue dogs documenting different countries for our students.
ABOUT ME
I am an America who has lived outside the USA for 5 years. I have been living on the road for 10 years and loven every min of it. I worked in Alaska in the fishing industry for 6 years to pay for my travels. I would work an average of 6 months a year and travel the rest. My boyfriend and I have been together for about 5 years and have lives in a car for 4 of those years. Since I have been with my boyfriend, Jiri Grygera, we have lived in Ireland, worked and traveled through New Zealand for 2 years, driven 43,000 km across Canada and explored the Scandinavian Arctic - driving 15,000 km through Finland, Sweden, Norway and the island of Spitsbergen. Most of the time living in a car. My goal from an early age was to see the world and inspire others to see it as well. Working with children in hopes of educating them on the great, big world out there is a dream come true for me. One that I put my heart into every day. Jiri and I are based out of the Czech Republic and have been there for the past 2 years.
PHILOSOPHY
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.
- Mark Twain
My purpose is to educate kids to think outside the lines. By bringing outside cultures and ideas to the classroom they are presented with the differences from around the world and are pushed to think about who they are and who they want to become.
Interests
My loves are:
Traveling, photography, working with animals, hiking with my family, dancing, singing, art in any form and yes, living in a car.
