CURRENT MISSION "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - "WOW - What a Ride!" ABOUT ME I'm a California girl at heart. I lived in Austria while in High School and that is when my interest in foreign countries, people, and culture was first born. Since then, I have had the travel bug and am not at peace until I'm at my next destination or planning one. I lived in New York for four years while in college where I majored in Spanish and German and Systems Engineering. I then went to work and lived in Hawaii for almost five years. From there I traveled Southeast Asia, the Pacific, Australia, and even Alaska! I got married two years ago to Sean who loves traveling as much as I do and we look forward to many many years of traveling together! PHILOSOPHY "Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - "WOW - What a Ride!" I constantly feel like I am running out of time to explore everything I'd like to explore. Work gets in the way as well as responsibilities :) But I enjoy every minute of it when I do get the chance. I want others to experience that thrill as well.
