CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, one paycheck at a time.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, its definitely in my genes. My dad traveled a lot when I was a kid, and I loved when he'd come home from a trip and tell us all about what he saw, where he went, and what he ate. I love the idea of living by the seat of your pants and being spontaneous with everything that comes your way. No time limit, no restrictions, just living freely.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, and drink in the wild air." -Emerson.

Music, Movies, and Books

i LOVE to read. i would have my own library if i could! I am a big fan of historical fiction books, fantasy, romance, drama, science fiction, I'm just not a huge fan of thrillers/Steven king!
I like sunset photography, living by the beach helps with that. I take a lot of my friends senior photos for graduation, and i tend to be the person who is taking the photos during the party or get together.

I'm open to all types of music, I basically like everything. I grew up with listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, so I definitely love the swing era/big band type of music.
I am a film studies major, so naturally i love movies to death, i could watch them all day! I have a very extensive film knowledge, you name it, I've probably seen it. I'm definitely open to hearing/seeing more foreign films, I'm open to suggestions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at the top of the Tokyo Tower with my sister, just as the rain was clearing away, and the sun peaked out of the clouds. Gorgeous!

While in Venice in the summer of 2008, I was on a boat back to the island of Lido, and the sun had just set. the boat was at the mid point between the island of old Venice and Lido, there was a break in the horizon of just the water, when a extremely bright white streak of a falling star sailed across the night sky.

I ran my first marathon in June 2013, it was the most exhilarating moment of my life, crossing the finish line at full speed knowing all my training had brought me there and my will power pushed me through the killer pain screaming from my legs and feet. Thankfully there was a victory beer and metal waiting for me!

While in Nice in the summer of 2012, I was at the top of Castle Hill, that over looks the entire city and the Bay Of Angels. It was drop dead beautiful. I fell in love with the city then and there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a decent yoga practioner, so perhaps we can do some yoga!
I also teach ballroom dancing on the side for fun.
I love to cook & bake! We'll swap recipes! :)
