CURRENT MISSION

Live it up before I turn 30

ABOUT ME

I am a super laid back California girl. I laugh at everything, I have really long hair, eat a lot of candy, and I always want to be outside. Outside in a foreign country is even better!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life on two quotes:
'Be a half-assed crusader, a part-time fanatic. Don't worry too much about the fate of the world. Saving the world is only a hobby. Get out there and enjoy the world, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, husbands, wives; climb mountains, run rivers, get drunk, do whatever you want while you can, before it's too late." -Edward Abbey

"There's plenty of money out there. They print more every day. But this ticket, there's only five of them in the whole world, and that's all there's ever going to be. Only a dummy would give this up for something as common as money. Are you a dummy?" -Grandpa George in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the Northern Lights on the winter solstice above the arctic circle. Lived on the beach doing marine biology research two summers. Swam with dolphins...and a shark. Skydiving. Rafted down Cataract Canyon at high water. Experienced a major earthquake. Taught high school biology. Drove to work the other day in a snow storm. Amazing things happen everyday if you keep your eyes open for them....
