CURRENT MISSION

My partner and I have been on the Working Holiday Visa in New Zealand for the past year tramping mountains and eating scroggin' & fish n' chips.

Our next stop is South East Asia, beginning with Vietnam in August! From there we plan to stop over in Cambodia, Thailand and Nepal to do the Annapurna Circuit (If you have advice on this trek please tell me!). Before heading to the states we will go full on in Tokyo for a few days for one last travel shabang!

About My traveling partner/lover Daniel:
I am traveling with my boo-man-chu Daniel (bearded fellow in pics). He is kind hearted and extremely helpful. He is also very wise and respectful, like old school honorable. He is a real good man and I love him with all of my heart and soul. Daniel loves all animals and loves everything outdoors. In addition, he is a passionate chess player and always appreciates a good game. He is a proper mountain man with a Springstein swagger.

ABOUT ME

Ready to get back on the road again, I lived in Israel for a year back in 07-08 and I've been saving and doing my time in the US, keeping promises until I could set off again into the fabulous unknown. It's time to see some life giving beauty again!

I love traveling and adore meeting people. I am a people person and gal's gal! I love sharing my story and hearing others. I am an experiential learner at heart and appreciate what the world has to offer.

Hiking has made me loose my mind and be forced to find it again. I love it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Van Morrison because it reminds me of my childhood and van gough.

Simon and Garfunkle because they remind me of my mom and make me imagine her when she was young, free, and 70s beautiful in Oyster Bay without much burden or pain in life.

The avett brothers because they remind me of Colorado and american mountains.

Nina Simone because her ferocity emmenates in Her music and it reminds me of my brother because he has put her on every mix or iPod in my life.

Otis redding because I lip-synch to him fabulously and if I were to choose any ones voice dead or alive it would be his.
