CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Right after college I decided to teach English in China. One year turned to two, reigniting the travel bug that has always lived inside of me. I spent 5 months backpacking Asia after my contract was up which was life changing. I'm now back in the States and living in California, but the itch to travel never left, and I look forward to exploring the rest of the world in the future!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take yourself too seriously, and enjoy this crazy ride called life.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've found everyone has a moment where they realize the profound impact that traveling has on their life.

Mine happened while camping out in the middle of the Thar desert in India under the stars. I wasn't supposed to still be traveling, but I extended my trip. We cooked dinner over a tiny fire, washed our dishes using the sand, all while enjoying one of the most beautiful sunsets. In that moment of quiet peacefulness, I could feel the rich reward, humbleness, and love that traveling gives you. Not a soul(besides my fellow campers and camels) knew exactly where in the world I was, and I got to be unplugged from society for a glorious three days. It's a perfect moment in time that will stay with me forever.
