CURRENT MISSION

To see the world in all of its glory

ABOUT ME

I am kind, caring, and a good listener (training to be a therapist, after all). I get excited about the little things in life and don't get upset when things don't go my way. I am easy-going, peaceful, respectful, and like to think that I'm at least a tiny bit funny.

PHILOSOPHY

I live simply, I laugh often (particularly at myself), and I love everything. I think the world is a beautiful place, and I try to see it and feel it as much as possible, even when I'm not traveling. In places where it's not so beautiful, I try to make it better.
