CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible before i attempt to settle down into my idea of a normal life

ABOUT ME

I am 22 years old and grew up in a small town in the Adirondack Park in New York State that i still reside in today after i earned my college degree in Pre- Medicine. I am taking this year off to travel around a majority of the world and take in as many experiences, culture, food, people, and new ideas that i can.
I am a very adventurous and adrenaline seeking person and love the outdoors. I love to hike, mountain bike, snow ski, water ski, and more. I have recently decided that i need to take time in my life and travel after i spent 3 1/2 months in Tanzania in the year 2009 in Nkoraranga performing surgeries and delivers at a rural hospital and teaching HIV/Aids education to secondary student. I would like to further this adventure and this coming October I will be traveling to Europe (U.K, Ireland, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, and Greece) and to Africa ( Egypt, Morocco, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Uganda, Zambia, Botswana, Swaziland, and South Africa) with my boyfriend for 5 months.
I am in hopes to meet as many people as possible and share stories, ideas, recipies, and hope that i can host you in the future in the beautiful Adirondack Park in New York State

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked through a non-profit government organization in Tanzania performing surgeries and deliveries for 3 1/2 months in a rural mountain village. As well as having an incredible experience in my work field i had the privilege of living with a local family in a 4 room cement house with no water, electricity, or bathroom that broadened my perspective on life immensely.
