When traveling I desire most to live like a local. Of course I didn't got to Paris without seeing the Eiffel Tower or Rome without the Coliseum, but once I've checked those off my list I'm ready to post up at a coffee shop or hit up the local bookstore. If there is a concert or festival happening I want to be there. If there is a bouldering gym nearby, let's go. If you just want to introduce me to some delicious street food, I'm all in...just don't tell me what I'm eating till after.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with great white sharks in South Africa.

Teach, Learn, Share

I taught a high school statistics class for one day.

I learned how to tie my shoes as a kid, but I now wear sandals 24/7.

I'm an only child so sharing is still a work in progress.
