About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life and explore the world......

On a mission to find a Van deck it out and drive through Mexico with my little sister.

Year goal is to improve my Spanish, become a better surfer, learn the Ukulele which was given to me by my last host, salsa dance more, crochet something, meet locals and like minded people to share our experiences and start my own fashion brand developing products with artisans in Mexico!! It seems like a lot but I'm just putting it out there to the universe. If you don't ask you don't get! That's what my dad always told me.

ABOUT ME

I am a free spirited and easy going person who loves to travel and see different cultures, try new things and meet all kinds of people from different walks of life. I take life as it comes and appreciate what has been given to me. I'm a fashion Designer by trade and I love to meet other creatives on my travels so let's connect!
