ABOUT ME

Where shall I start?

Hello! My name is Jessie. I've been living back in the states for a year now. Reacquainting myself with the beautiful Pacific North West. I love traveling, learning about new cultures, hiking, camping, and having adventures in general. My perfect day would probably include a bike ride, a park, a game, a beer, and some friends.

Before Moving home to Seattle I was backpacking across SE ASIA and India.

PHILOSOPHY

You never arrive at happiness, you just learn to live it.
