CURRENT MISSION

Quit talking and start doing!

ABOUT ME

Right after college I decided to teach English in China. One year turned to two, reigniting the travel bug that has always lived inside of me. I spent 5 months backpacking Asia after my contract was up which was life changing. I'm now back in the States and living in California, but the itch to travel never left, and I look forward to exploring the rest of the world in the future!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too seriously, and enjoy this crazy ride called life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've found everyone has a moment where they realize the profound impact that traveling has on their life.

Mine happened while camping out in the middle of the Thar desert in India under the stars. I wasn't supposed to still be traveling, but I extended my trip. We cooked dinner over a tiny fire, washed our dishes using the sand, all while enjoying one of the most beautiful sunsets. In that moment of quiet peacefulness, I could feel the rich reward, humbleness, and love that traveling gives you. Not a soul(besides my fellow campers and camels) knew exactly where in the world I was, and I got to be unplugged from society for a glorious three days. It's a perfect moment in time that will stay with me forever.
