About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Currently in Australia on a working and holiday visa, but mostly holiday. Loving the sites and all the kind people we've encountered. I'm super excited to see more as the year progresses!
I am very into all things outdoors, I'm super keen to learn new sports, and am eager to trade stories. One thing that I feel really defines me is yoga. It's a huge part of my life and I love nothing more than sharing it with others. Yoga allows me to be constantly learning and growing in both mind and body. My ever growing love for yoga has taught me so much since I began practicing when I was a teenager. Since spring 2014 I've been fortunate enough to teach. I love trying yoga in every place I visit to experience the different styles and methods.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Anything I have experienced while traveling has been so amazing. I especially love meeting people with different backgrounds and cultural practices.
One of my favorite memories is a cacao drinking ceremony in the mountains surrounding lake Atitlan, which is located in Panajachel, Guatemala.
Also, a certain incident involving snail poop but that's better told in person.
