CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to travel as much as possible while still having an affect on the places I visit. I don't merely want to pass through a town and say I have been there, I want to really submerge myself in the culture of the places I visit.

ABOUT ME

I am 20 years old and attempting to live life to the fullest. I am a dance major at Towson University where my concentration is in Aerial Dance. Being upside down is another one of my favorite things (hence the trapeze work). I grew up in a really really small town so big cities are fascinating to me. I've spent a decent amount of time in NYC and loved it. However, strolling down the sidewalks with cars speeding by will never ever be able to hold a candle to a hike in the woods for me.

PHILOSOPHY

"One who gets lost in their passion has less to lose than one who has lost his passion all together."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Paris in February of 2007 we were standing at the bottom of the eiffel tower in the miserable rain. We all wanted to go back to the hotel and thaw and sleep. But when we got to the top of the tower, it was snowing! Raining at the bottom, snowing at the top...simply magical!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have had numerous experiences that have made me realize how important it is to enjoy each day. I intend to share this feeling of urgency to experience. I also know a little french that I would be happy to share. I love dance and teaching dance is fun for me, if you have any desire to learn Ballet or just free your soul through dance I would be more than happy to join you. The only thing I want to learn is whatever you want to teach me, collecting knowledge is another one of my favorite things.
