CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world, take it by storm.

ABOUT ME

Big laugh, bigger heart. Spontaneous, silly, but a total caregiver. Adventurous, tidy, strong willed, romantic and optimistic. I try to find beauty in everything and a bright side to any situation. Young American girl traveling, trying to figure out who I am and what I want to be.

PHILOSOPHY

Make the best of every situation you are given, you are the only one in charge of how you interpret and respond to situations. You only get one life and every second should be as enjoyable as possible. Have fun and goof off as much as you can, life isn't that serious.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching a meteor shower from the top of an old school bus on a ranch in the mountains of Sonoma. The amount of space in the sky taken up by stars was greater than the amount of dark sky and there were constantly falling stars, it was so beautiful.

Driving through the countryside of New Zealand on a bus with my sister was incredible too. Just watching the green hills roll by, not to mention all of the sheep! The plant life was enchanting and of course, with the help of an ipod, the soundtrack was great too!
