CURRENT MISSION

Find what there is to find in different places, different people, think about things, and maybe write it all down later.

ABOUT ME

I love people and all of their stories! I also like beautiful views, including the work it takes to find them: whether it be hiking, swimming, or hacking to the roof of a tall building. One day, I want to be the old woman who makes up all the Snapple facts.

PHILOSOPHY

Sail on barbarous seas and land on foreign coasts, oh my!
