CURRENT MISSION

Explore cultures, languages, and people, get lost, eat chocolate, and laugh my way around the globe.

ABOUT ME

Urban and natural adventurer, aspiring painter, avid baker, and book worm. While traveling I'm more interested in experiencing the local life -- preferably through wine, food, relaxation, and hiking :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While studying abroad in Vietnam I participated in a typical ritual in the MeKong Delta. Some friends and I caught a garden snake, cut its head off, drained its blood, drank it with rice wine, and then cooked an ate the snake!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a great passion for baking and painting and love to experience these with others. Further, I have a love and deep interest in child development and psychology.

I am always looking to learn more about nearly anything!
