CURRENT MISSION

To see more of the world every year

ABOUT ME

I'm a laid back, midwestern girl. Love to travel of course, share stories, meet new people, try some crazy things... anything to keep life interesting. I was an army brat growing up, which meant a new home and new friends every other year or so. I'd say it definitely helped shaped my adventurous spirit.

PHILOSOPHY

1. everything in moderation
2. forward motion only >>
3. a smile changes everything
4. fear makes strangers of would be friends
5. sexy beer? 1 euro
