CURRENT MISSION

To place myself outside my comfort zone each day and live life in the present moment.

ABOUT ME

I am currently in my 3rd year of college. I am getting ready to study abroad in New Zealand in Feb 09 and I'M SO EXCITED!! I am an outdoor extremist and love a great adrenaline rush. Traveling is what i intend to do for the rest of my life because it is a great way to learn new things about yourself and the world. I believe that as long as you do what you love, the rest of your life will fall into place. Over the past year I have realised that my place in life is in the outdoors. I intend on going to graduate school for Outdoor Education and hopefully work for Outward Bound. I want to work with children with disabilities in the outdoors and share with them the opportunities and learning experiences that the wilderness has to offer.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once, and do it again if you enjoy it.
