CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and do everything. Help students explore the world even if they never leave their hometown, which I really hope they do.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and meeting new people. I try to experience life as a local while in a foreign place. My husband and I aren't night owls or party animals. We love eating good meals and quiet evenings of conversations and board games.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, and Let Live.
