About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am ready to see what's out there in the world! I traveled extensively within the US while growing up. I want to see the Seven Wonders, all the amazing things in other countries. I plan to do some traveling solo but would love to meet some fun people!

ABOUT ME

I have always loved traveling and meeting people from all walks of life. It seems like I am always the one with the idea and desire to just GO and it is really hard to get people to hop on! Wouldn't it be fun to hop a train and see where it takes you? I have spent the last few years following a path that society says will lead me to security and prosperity and all I have seen is chaos, stress, and an overwhelming sense that I am going the wrong direction. So...I made the decision to make this my year to see what's out there! I want to experience hiking in a rain forest and seeing Widespread Panic at Red Rocks. I want to go to Belize during lobster season and see ancient ruins that are only recently being discovered. Maybe go to Amsterdam for the Cannibas cup! I am a friendly,fun-loving,adventurous,genuine person and hope to meet original people who I can learn from!

PHILOSOPHY

Trust and follow your instincts. Find the things that excite you and inspire you and make it happen!!! Laugh often!!!
