ABOUT ME

I recently graduated from the University of Dayton. I just moved back to Pittsburgh and I am looking for a job. I hope to find a job working in environmental education. I am hoping to travel before I find a job. I really enjoying kayaking and have done so in Dayton, Pittsburgh, and Monterey.

PHILOSOPHY

It's cheesy but my fellow travelers and I said it a lot while visiting places in Ecuador...Follow your heart. You only live once.

It sounds better in Spanish...sigue a tu corazón, sólo se vive una vez

Teach, Learn, Share

You think you might know a city or a place really well but there is always another angle or perspective to be found. Kayaking is a perspective I know well. I got into kayaking in Dayton Ohio. At first glance, Dayton does not have much to offer. Getting in a kayak and paddling down one of the rivers takes you to a place you would never think existed in a former industrial town.
