My passions are hiking, food, traveling, and working in hospitality. After college, I spent two years working as an Innkeeper at a bed & breakfast in Southeastern Utah. I hiked the Appalachian Trail (in two sections) and then moved to The White Mountains in Northern New Hampshire to work at a back-country hut. In between jobs, I've spent time traveling around Panama, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Australia. I've settled down a bit since my travels and am now working as an Event Planner. Meeting people from other countries and learning how to cook the local food are my favorite things to do while traveling outside of the US.
