CURRENT MISSION

Make the world a better place through my actions

ABOUT ME

I'm excited by life and the world, curious and adventurous, positive and driven, and all around a very happy person. Travel is important because not only does it help me get to know the world around me, it really aids in my personal growth and exploration. I feel a strong connection to nature and am an advocate for ecological protection and preservation.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel deeply connected to and identify as part of the natural world. I'm fascinated by and connected to the beauty and wonder of Mother Earth and the universe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a bioluminescent bay on the island of Vieques in Puerto Rico. We planned the trip around a new moon so the ocean lit up SO bright with any movement. We swam and then took kayaks out further- amazed by the shimmering light that was visible anytime there was movement in the water. I felt like Tinker Bell!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a good cook so I can definitely teach people how to cook! I'm a singer, so I can offer vocal lessons as well and teach guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, jokes, high-fives, stories, and a good time!
