About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission: to show you around Houston!

ABOUT ME

I'm in my late 20's, and I'm all about living & loving life. I enjoy the outdoors, traveling, museums & art galleries, a good glass of wine, and meeting new people. Oh yeah - did I mention food? Doesn't matter if it's a taco truck or a fancy schmancy restaurant, it's worth discovering. I also love spending time with family & friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess the bottom line is life's too short not to have a blast living it. Everyone has a story - people are the best part of life! I want to live life to the fullest each and every day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably the most amazing thing was climbing Putucusi, the mountain directly in front of Machu Picchu. Not only was the view incredible, but getting up there was the most challenging thing I've ever done. It's super intense - wooden ladders straight up with no harness, cliffs that go straight down hundreds of feet, and of course, the altitude. It was tough, but SO worth it.
