ABOUT ME

I'm an American from the Northeast. I've always loved the woods and the sea (was lucky enough to grow up around both).

I studied abroad in New Zealand in 2009, and began to experience the vastness of the world and the kindness of strangers. In 2011 I visited Europe. My brother and I visited Italy, Switzerland, France and Spain. Then I visited Japan and Singapore. Then I went back to Switzerland to work. As you can tell... I'm hooked.

My idea of a perfect Saturday includes an early morning, a vigorous hike, an afternoon coffee with a good book, and a homecooked meal with good friends. I love exploring variations on this theme in all of the beautiful places all over this earth.

I make a mean banana bread.
