CURRENT MISSION

"The mountains are calling, and I must go."

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old Kansas native on a mission to see everywhere and do everything. I started travelling in New Zealand when I was 19 and have since been hooked on a life of travel. From there I went to Australia for a year, then Indonesia, Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Since returning to the states I've been back to Kansas, then to Florida, Connecticut, Washington, , Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and now where I've made my new home in Montana. While living in Montana I went to school to become a brewer, then made beer for a living for 4 years. I have since quit my job to start traveling again and figure out where life will take me next, but I still enjoy drinking good beer and making new friends!

I love all things outdoors. Hiking, running, cycling, swimming, fishing, snowboarding(although I’m terrible at it), camping, etc.

Other than that, I'm just a very easy going, polite, tidy girl who loves good music, good people, good beer, and good food!

PHILOSOPHY

Be the kind of person you want to meet.

“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” - Nelson Mandela

“Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.”
