CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently getting ready to backpack through Europe before starting my full time education in nursing back home in Alaska. I'm trying to make this dream trip happen while keeping an eye on my budget.

ABOUT ME

I'm a small town Alaskan girl with a passion for traveling. Going out is fun, but staying in is also awesome as well! I studied social science with particular emphasis in government/political science, history, and sociology. I love to discuss current events and culture.

PHILOSOPHY

I hate to be an unoriginal quoter, but Marcel Proust really said it best...
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Last year, I taught English in Cambodia at an orphanage for kids with HIV and then volunteered at an elephant sanctuary. This year, I hiked the 33 mile Chilkoot trail between Alaska and Canada, which retraces the steps of the gold seekers during the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush.
