CURRENT MISSION

I aspire to travel as much as I possibly can. I want to meet new people, try new things, open my mind to new experiences and atmospheres. Science. Cycling. Knit. Sew. Crochet. Cook. Read. Love. Dance. Bake. Paint. Photograph. Learn. Repeat. And have fun!

ABOUT ME

I want to go travel as much as I can, and see as much as I can. I am a nature enthousiast, bike racing, animal loving, third wave feminist. I've been all over the states, most of Canada (I'm of quebecois heritage), backpacked Europe for a bit and resided in Central America for two months. I've also travelled in Thailand, India, Australia, and Iceland. I did a bike tour in Spain in summer 2016. I prefer to explore with like-minded individuals at a minimal cost and in good company. Earned a BS in Health Science in Orlando, FL and a BS in Micro/Molecular Biology from Portland State University. I am a certified Medical Lab Tech and since finishing school and starting work I haven't had a lot of time to host, but I'd like to take it up again!

PHILOSOPHY

Communication. Compassion. Understanding. Patience.
