CURRENT MISSION

Travel. Experience. Live. Learn. Share.

ABOUT ME

I currently reside in Cincinnati, OH as a recent graduate from the University of Cincinnati, as well as an employee at REI. I am a very open-minded individual, and am eager to experience new things.

I recently graduated from university, and am looking to experience the world and travel. My roommate and long-time friend, Kelsey and I are traveling across Europe this summer. We are starting in Ireland, then Scotland, Germany, France, and Spain. We are looking forward to meeting new people and making friends along the way.

PHILOSOPHY

"When you explore the world outside of yours, do it with a loving and open heart. Trust in the inherent goodness in people, and cast aside what you think you know about the world."
