Until recently, I worked in U.S. immigration law in Miami. Currently I'm traveling until the end of September! I'm pretty easygoing and open to new experiences, and I love to meet new people and hear adventure stories (:

Just trying to be the best human I can be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Los 27 Charcos in the Dominican Republic: nature's water park and absolutely stunning.

Ask me about the time I spent 10 hours crossing a glacier in the Alaskan wilderness....

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been boxing for a little over a year now and while I'm nowhere near a pro I can definitely teach you the basics.

If you can help me improve my pitiful French I'll love you forever ❤ Honestly I love to learn about anything interesting. I'm also hellbent on learning to surf!
