CURRENT MISSION Explore Central America! (please see my former shared CS site at http://www.couchsurfing.org/profile.html?id=1VGFG45) ABOUT ME I was born and raised in Washington state. Went to work in Alaska the summer I turned 21 on a whim and I haven't stopped moving yet. I worked in Alaska 2006, 2007, and this last summer of 2011. I spent the winter of 2007 backpacking around Europe before settling in to finish my Bachelor's degree in western Massachusetts. I focused mainly in sustainable agriculture and smart growth urban planning. I hope to go to grad school for planning in the next few years. I love music, art, film, nature...anything that makes the heart sing. I love meeting people and going on adventures! PHILOSOPHY We only get to do this life thing once so might as well do it right! Be happy, enjoy the little things but strive for the big, take time to notice the beauty all around you, learn as much as you can, experience as much as possible, and always be kind to others.
