Let's see...I have a wanderlust that is coupled with a fascination with everything different and unknown. I'm a registered nurse, adjunct professor, and PhD student, currently living in Massachusetts but raised in Florida. I am passionate about helping the vulnerable and engage in humanitarian work whenever I can, whether it is through my skills as a nurse, educator, or even if I just need to be present. I have an equally zealous explorer in my husband who supports and even instigates my caprices :-) Anthony Bourdain has my dream job
