ABOUT ME

I currently live in Baltimore where I'm learning to be a nurse. I used to live in France and I worked for an active travel company where I lead bike tours in the Loire Valley and the Dordogne, as well as some time in Vietnam and Cambodia. I love meeting new people and traveling, and now look back very gratefully on my 4 years abroad. Part of the reason I am so excited to become a nurse will be the chance to travel and work again.
