One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed with the Kunas kayaking to uninhabited islands...swam with pink Amazon River dolphins...worked on Bourbon Street, NOLA during Mardi Gras...went horseback riding through the Southern Altiplano in Bolivia...hiked along the Great Wall...rode a bike down the Camino del Muerte...hiked to Cuidad Perdida...ate chicken cake on a busita and laughed until my sides hurt...

Teach, Learn, Share

As a photographer, writer, grip, kayaking guide, yoga leader, gardener, and a few more things, I love learning, teaching and working. It would be really nice to find work to suppliment my travels; self employment is tricky. Did I mention I started babysitting when I was ten years old and I waited tables and bartended through college?
