ABOUT ME
I started traveling 10 years ago after a traumatic car accident that really opened my eyes. It all started with my solo backpacking trip across Europe, a short-lived career as a flight attendant, an extended road trip to Texas, 2 summers in North Carolina as a wilderness therapy counselor, a second solo backpacking trip across Europe and about 6 cross country driving trips later I am back in Seattle.
Since then I have travelled to Costa Rica and south east Asia. And am continuing my travels in August to Germany.
PHILOSOPHY
There's no such thing as 'too much'. Do everything you have the oppurtunity to do. You only live once and it's probably going to kill you.
