CURRENT MISSION

"Savor the moments that are warm, special, and giggly."

ABOUT ME

I recently moved back to California from Colorado. I enjoy travel adventures and could tell you something I love about every place I've been! As a coastal native, central valley fellow, and Sierra explorer, I know the in's and out's of many places!

I love any and everything that involves the outdoors.

PHILOSOPHY

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset." ~ Crowfoot, 1890, as quoted in Catch the Whisper of the Wind compiled by Cheewa James

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recent Backcountry explorations in Argentina, Chile, and New Zealand.

Scoped out Ireland in March 2009 - found out that Mother's Day was even crazier than St. Patty's!

4 months in Central America - hiked the highest peaks of Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Honduras.

Completed the John Muir Trail last fall (200 + miles) - amazing backpacking adventure.

Lived in every part of the Sierra - foothills, western slope, and the east side - in a 1-year period. I've explored quite a bit of it!
