CURRENT MISSION

To get stamps in my passport and have amazing stories and friends to go along with them

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Maine, greatest state ever, and have lived on both sides of the states. In high school I traveled to Costa Rica and in college I studied abroad in Italy and absolutely loved the experiences. Traveling and living in different cultures makes me happy. I moved to NYC after college and I love NYC but after 4 years I started itching to travel again. I lived in Dunedin, NZ for almost 2 years and traveled through southeast Asia before (sadly) heading back home where I'm pretending to adult.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm a spur of the moment girl. Some things I plan cuz I have to...like 3 month trips to the unknown, but mostly I just like to pop into places and see how the spirit moves me! If it's a new experience, I'm game, if it's meeting new people, I'm game... I go where life leads me and enjoy the journey.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite movie: Amadeus, Favorite book: Ozma of Oz and anything by Lonely Planet, Favorite music: oy... Mozart, Ben Harper, Barenaked Ladies, Muse, Black Keys, Bon Iver, Brett Dennen...the list goes on ad nauseum. Probably easier to ask what music I don't like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ate crickets and other bugs at a road side bus stop in Cambodia. Definitely memorable!!
