About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel for six months (April to Sept) through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia

ABOUT ME

I am blessed to be on a six month journey through Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Colombia and Chile. This trip is devoted to my exploration on a physical and spiritual level. I have never traveled alone or without an organization guiding my way, so this is my first time letting go of structure, plans, time and deadlines. I create my own days, meals, entertainment and education... which has been empowering in itself!
When I arrive back to the states, I hope to enroll into a masters program, called Food Studies. This program speaks to me because it intertwines organic gardening/agriculture, culinary technique and nutrition.
Other than that, I enjoy hikes, bikes, cooking, reading, music, beer!, wine, film and much more!
Thanks for reading:)
