About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Listen more, talk less

ABOUT ME

I'm a small town girl who is trying to travel the world and make it on my own. I enjoy - in no particular order - music, festivals, red wine, yoga, nature, exploring, making friends, reading, and traveling (obviously). I am interested in social justice and understanding others. I am open-minded, patient, and understanding. I want to connect with people across the world - not just crash on someone's couch. I hope we can at least share a cup of coffee, tea, beer, or wine and get to know one another - even if briefly.

PHILOSOPHY

You will always end up where you were meant to be, even if it wasn't where you were headed.
