About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to see as much of this world as possible, with an open mind and and open eyes. Leave every place better than I found it

ABOUT ME

I'm very easygoing and adaptable. I love to travel and meet new people, because everybody's got a story to tell and I love to learn. If college classes were free I would stay in school my whole life. I already have two bachelor's degrees and will someday make the time to get a Masters. I love music and art, both in viewing and creating. I love bright colors, especially in my hair.

PHILOSOPHY

If you don't have the time to live your life now, when will you?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a week long road trip to Yellowstone with a good friend of mine. We stopped at the Badlands, Rushmore, the Bighorns, and the Tetons. We slept in hostels and the back of her SUV. We saw a baby moose, otters, bison, elk, deer, snakes, mountains, geysers, and waterfalls. If only I were that productive every week...

Teach, Learn, Share

I can't get enough of learning and I love sharing what I know! I can help you hike in Denali National Park or hitchhike across New Zealand. My passion is nature so wildlife is where I have the most answers... and questions.
