CURRENT MISSION

Participate in making it possible for people to travel everywhere and meet new friends!

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Maine, but I moved when I was 18 and lived in Massachusetts then Colorado. I came back to Maine about 2 years ago. There is a certain charm about New England that I missed. I couldn't have made a better choice of a city to move to. I am an extremely social being and love surrounding myself with interesting, fun people. I love exercising my body and mind every day. Volunteering while traveling is one of my biggest passions. It's a great way to immerse yourself in a culture rather than just be a tourist.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that while we are here on this earth we should help relieve the suffering of as many people as we can, make as many friends as we can and love them all truly!

Music, Movies, and Books

Documentaries and historical movies are my favorite. I tend to read more non-fiction than fiction these days and am an avid TIME reader.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering in Haiti was one of my most memorable trips for the mere devestation I witnessed. The way people came together during that time was more than I could have ever imagined. I have never been more grateful for what I have here at home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am currently a pharmacist in the traditional sense but am working on becoming an integrative pharmacist so I can have an east meets west approach to medicine. I would love to learn other cultures medical treatments and approaches to health care.
