CURRENT MISSION

Learn from the stories and experiences of people I meet on my adventures

ABOUT ME
I'm an easy going, curious, fun-loving girl originally from from the Midwest whom enjoys surrounding myself with people that motivate and inspire me. By immersing myself in different lifestyles and cultures much different than my own I gain a better sense of myself and place in this ever changing dynamic world.

I like reading blogs about higher education and nutrition, sunny-side up eggs, and tea.

I'm a 'doer' and follow through with my words. I'm fascinated by the interconnectivity of the world and have found that simply traveling is not enough. To truly understand a culture I put myself in the lives of the people who live there.
I would be happy to follow you to work or hang out with friends or even go grocery shopping-all which would give me yet another perspective of how the world works.

I'm currently living in the beautiful Oslo, Norway where I work with sustainability

PHILOSOPHY
The biggest regret of people on their death beds is not living a life true to who they are. I want to be in charge of my life and well beginning. Every action I take today effects my tomorrow in some way or another. I strive to put my best self forward.
To immerse myself in a culture my learning from the locals not other tourists!
