CURRENT MISSION

To promote inexpensive, sustainable traveling while transforming strangers to friends.

ABOUT ME

From breast feeding to bar hopping, I came of age in the Pacific Northwest, splitting time between Portland, OR and Walla Walla, WA. After graduating from college, I spent two years dabbling in Chicago's social work scene before devoting seven months to international adventuring. Twenty nine countries later, I'm keepin' it regional in Seattle.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay in motion but [try to] appreciate sitting still.
