About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"To find my direction magnetically"

ABOUT ME

Howdy! Born in the states, grew up in Japan, Singapore and India. Have done some exploring around the world. As an "adult" I've loved continuing my travels mainly by seeking out seasonal and short-term outdoor jobs in different states and countries (stuff like snowboarding instructor, whitewater rafting guide, etc). I really enjoy getting to know an area and the folks that live there rather than just visiting for a few days. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Fiji - doing Environmental Resource Management. LOVE snowboarding, cooking, outdoor settings, people, LAUGHING, coffee shop talks, and a whole bunch more. Currently I live in the Northwoods of WI working at an environmental school whilst obtaining my masters degree.
I am huge on personal integrity, boundaries, cleanliness, and respect when it comes to something like crashing in a stranger's abode.
