CURRENT MISSION

Traveling as a student of life

ABOUT ME

Right now, I am currently in my last year of a program for Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture, herbs). I will be done in December. It hasnt been easy and it has kept me very busy for the last 5 years. When I am not studying, I am at the beach playing volleyball, in yoga class, hiking, or at the gym. At night, I like to cook for friends or my boyfriend, go out to Happy hour, or watch a good flick. Traveling is a passion of mine but it has been on hold for a long time due to limitations of school and finances.
I am pretty mellow yet I can get pretty excited for an adventure.

PHILOSOPHY

Just trying to evolve and grow, keep my eyes open and take in this beautiful life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would say my travel highlight was spending 4 months traveling throughout Europe including Spain, Holland, Portugal, and Morocco. I also lived on the island of Maui for a year after college which was incredible on many levels.
