About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue answering the question "What else is possible?"

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic 29 year old. I work seasonally in outdoor education and write for publication. I think we are all connected and life is a matter of energy.

UPDATE FOR 2015: Currently I am traveling in hopes to relocate out in the western part of the US and work for another outdoor education company. Therefore I am not located in New Orleans and unfortunately cannot accept guests. There are other amazing CSers in NOLA tho so def hit them up! :)

2012 was my first big travel/CS experience: I backpacked through Central and South America for 6 months and then road tripped from NYC-NOLA for 30 days seeing North America.

Prior to all of this I resided in New Orleans for 2.5 years. During those years I worked as a project manager for a home rebuild non-profit, taught reading to kindergartners in a charter school, served donuts at an amazing shop and managed to run my own private party bartending business.

I am laid back,confident,and love a nice cup of coffee/
conversation with new people. I adore the outdoors, living a "massive" life, and find humor in almost anything. I hope we can connect and share in hospitality.

PHILOSOPHY
