CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the western U.S.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, meet new people, and share new ideas with friends. Previously I've done three big backpack trips. The first was a nine month trip from Colombia to southern Chile and Argentina and back up to Northern Brazil. Over the summer in grad school I traveled Western and Eastern Europe for 4 months. After grad school I did a 6 month trip around europe and asia.
