ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going Alaskan that loves to meet new people and try new things. I'm open minded, curious and always seek different perspectives. I love history, storytelling and being challenged.

I lived in Thailand for awhile pursuing a Masters in International Relations/Human Rights emphasis. I am now taking off for the Philippines to study sustainable communities in a permaculture village! After that, I will be traveling through India and Nepal and would love to meet up with some fellow travelers along the way.

Update: Eight years living in Tanzania and now Kenya :)!

Currently: traveling through West Africa and looking for unique hosts and experiences

PHILOSOPHY:

Make every room a classroom...

Live your values.

"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences."

“I was never aware of any other option but to question everything.”
-Chomsky
