I'm a recent college graduate living in Tampa, Florida (with a marketing bachelors) and I'm originally from Texas. What I love about travelling is being able to see all the incredible sights around the world, and learn about unique cultures and perspectives. Life is about this moments and experiences. And it helps that I'm a master planner, so I'm always planning some future trip or itinerary. I really enjoy being in the outdoors - camping, hiking, backpacking, running, rollerblading, swimming, etc. I believe in being happy, appreciating people, and dreaming about what could be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked through the New Mexico mountains and wilderness over two weeks for 100 miles. 40-50 pounds on the back that included two pairs of clothes and one week of food for an incredible experience I'd do again in a heartbeat.
