I'm from Wisconsin- a place where you can find fresh cheese curds and locally brewed beer. I'm a pretty adventure girl who loves to travel. I absolutely love traveling. There's something so invigorating about the journey that drives me. Memories are made that last a life time, new experiences happen and traveling pushes me to grow to new places. I learned to live, to have courage, to not be afraid to listen to NO, to test myself in a lot of respects, to challenge myself, to learn to respect others and other cultures, to learn to listen people, to learn to be more patient, to give more value to little things, to collect moments and not things AND to follow my dreams.

At 25, people expect you to start settling down, getting married and having kids but I decided to travel instead. Life is too short to wait for the right moment. Just Go and explore! And I am going to keep continuing exploring.

I love craziness! Anyone who is crazy, silly, or spontaneous- let's be friends! There's never a dull moment when I'm around. I bring the craziness out in people. If there's one thing about me; it's that I laugh at everything.

I'm a animal lover- dogs and cats. If I see someone walking a dog, I'll go out of my way to pet it. I have a dog name Charlie and 2 cats name Barney and Andy. I love them dearly.

My quote I live by:

"This is your life. Do what you want and do if often. If you don't like something, change it. If you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV. If your looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love. Stop over-analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Life is simple. Open your heart, mind and arms to new thing and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short, live your dream and wear your passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled alone for 4 months- it taught me how to be happy in my own company and to try new things I would have always relied on other people to do for me. It made me grow as a person and become very independent. Only you know what makes you happy, spend some time on your own- it's good for you!
