About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take every Opportunity to enjoy life, meet new people and continue growing!

ABOUT ME

Since college I haven't been able to stop adventuring and meeting new people. I spent half a year studying abroad in Wollongong, Australia. There I realized I should spend more time traveling and experiencing my own country. And that I did. I worked seasonally in Utah from 2010-2012 on a trail crew maintaining trails. That had opened me up to a plethora of hiking and backpacking all over the states. I attempted a thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail February 2012 with a group of friends. We made it from Georgia to southern Vermont by the beginning of June, before I needed to go out west for work for my last season. When I'm not working, I'm teaching yoga, slacklining and doing acro yoga. I spent the good part of this year traveling across the U.S. living on the road with my partner Ari. He and I are currently in Italy and are making our way across Europe until we head to Central America.

PHILOSOPHY

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to hula hoop, to handstand, and to make an awesome meal or two ;)

I'm still learning the power of everyday organization and forgiveness.
