About Me

CURRENT MISSION

A lifetime of travel and new adventure

ABOUT ME

I caught the travel bug on my first trip to Europe after graduating from high school - and have been addicted ever since. I spent my university summers abroad, studied in New Zealand for a semester, and after graduating uni lived in Ireland and London. I've lived in California off and on since college and am now settled here with my husband Eric. We just got back from a year long trip around the world to 20 different countries and are already trying to figure out how we can get rich to do it again! :)

PHILOSOPHY

If it's true that...

"Life is short" and "We get one life to live"

...then, I figure I better make the most of it and experience all that I can cram into however many years I get. So far, so good. :)
