CURRENT MISSION

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”

ABOUT ME

I am a world traveler raised in Germany, educated in Boston and Chicago and now living in Manchester. Studied in England, Slovenia, and Austria while at the university and want to see everyplace i can get my hands on. I love to backpack, tour and meet new people, people who love their city and where they are from. I am an over all goofball and love to observe my surrounding, then jump right in. I feel comfortable everywhere and will try every/anything. I love night life, art, nature, music, coffee, and alternative youth culture!

PHILOSOPHY

"She loves anything that is exciting, that involves a change of scene, where there are new people and where things are pleasant"
Ernest Hemingway

"Courage is fear holding on a minute longer"
General George S. Patton Jr.
