CURRENT MISSION

Live. Love. Laugh-- all over the world!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and try new experiences! I usually get excited about the little simple things in life like eating yummy food! I am pretty easy-going and I enjoy sharing and exchanging stories with people with a passion for life and others.

It was a big goal of mine to backpack all over planet Earth and I was fortunate to do this epic journey 02/2014. For 7 months, I laughed A LOT, cried from travel woes, loved deeply, haggled my way through night markets and bazaars, ate mouth-watering meals, drank different types of international beverages, slept in the most random places, experienced countless learning curves, appreciated the importance and consistency of toilet paper, dealt with endless cultural shock, and made life-long amazing friendships in 15 countries and 3 continents solo.

PHILOSOPHY

"For money you can have everything it is said. No that is not true. You can buy food, but not appetite; medicine, but not health; soft beds, but not sleep; knowledge but not intelligence; glitter, but not comfort; fun, but not pleasure; acquaintances, but not friendship; servants, but not faithfulness; grey hair, but not honor; quiet days, but not peace. The shell of all things you can get for money. But not the kernel. That cannot be had for money." -Arne Garborg
-
"Someday everything will make perfect sense... So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason."
-
"Travel teaches toleration." - Benjamin Disraeli
