CURRENT MISSION

"The joy in life comes from our encounters with new experiences." -Chris McCandless

ABOUT ME

I am a small town Nebraskan girl living in Daejeon, South Korea. I am extremely laid back and am always down for a good time. I will never turn down an opportunity to try something new or do something out of the ordinary.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe it is not until one fully immerses him or herself into another individual’s culture that he or she can truly understand life, empathize better with others, and appreciate another person’s way of life.

In my opinion, the best way to immerse yourself into a culture is to meet the people living in that culture. Converse, eat, drink, and develop new experiences with these people. If this step were to be omitted then your travels will lack a specific richness.
