CURRENT MISSION

I want to write descriptions on the Red Cards for the game Apples to Apples. And to hit every continent by age 27.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent college grad who loves to explore. I hope to hit every continent by age 27. I love theatre, books, the outdoors, creating fonts, event planning, dramaturgy, laughing, and dried mangos.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is too big and life too quick to stay stagnant.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just recently I climbed to the top of Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs, CA. Over 10,800 ft. The view of the valley below was spectactular.

I touched the Great Pyramid of Giza! On December 25th, 2010.

The feeling at the top of the Swiss Alps was...minimal. I was so cold I couldn't feel anything, really.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've learned that with traveling, it is all about keeping yourself open and ready. Never say no. Don't be afraid of going somewhere and not knowing the language. Allow the natives to take care of you, because I've experienced that no matter the environment, humans look out for one another.

I want to learn how an "UltraLight" backpacker lives his or her life.
