CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small Oregon coast town, raised by two great parents. My dad is a U.S. History teacher and my mom is a travel agent. My dad also organizes educational group tours through EF Tours almost every summer. I have been to many European countries and beyond and always have "itchy feet." I'm addicted to traveling the World and learning new ways of living life. I have a Bachelor's degree in International Studies major with a European focus from the University of Oregon. I'm laid back and ready to be dropped into new environments. I love the outdoors and cityscapes equally. I eat mostly healthy food although I've done a few competitive eating competitions. I like cheese, beer, old movies, and worldy music. I can't wait to meet you. Take care.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is only real when shared."

"You are free. Every moment is new. Your facticity never negates you freedom."
"The world is not made of atoms it is made up of stories."
