CURRENT MISSION

Learning to travel solo!

ABOUT ME

I am a baker in Seattle, with a passion for food, travel, and music. I like to play live music (piano, guitar, and singing) whenever I get the chance, and fill in the rest of my time with cooking, reading, knitting, sewing, and packing my belongings for the next trip.
I read a lot, am obsessed with finding true local cuisines, and want to learn as much as I can from my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

Lighten up and eat some pastries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once in my home state I went hiking on a mountain, and when I got to the top, someone had cancelled their tandem paragliding trip, so the instructor was in a bind. I took the chance and got to paraglide off the mountain!
