I grew up in Portland, OR but currently live in Juneau, AK. I love nature, music, people, culture, mountains, good books, coffee, brewery tours, and exploration.
Since I was 18, I've been traveling all over the world. It started in Africa, and that's where I go now as an instructor for students who were once like me.

I like meeting other global citizens.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to learn. I listen, I love. I look for lessons in laughter and lyrics.
