I grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio. Life really started happening for me when I went to college in Athens, Ohio. It's a beautiful college town full of all different types of people. I studied abroad in Costa Rica learning spanish and more about ecotourism. I studied in Peru as well and got my TEFL certificate (teaching english as a second language). I've lived in Ohio, Washington State, California, and Colorado.
