About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get out and see the world!...or at least as much of it as I can on a limited budget. I would love to see new places, meet new people, try new foods, etc. I am pretty much up for anything. Also looking for my permanent home. I think it's in Europe, but not sure where yet.

ABOUT ME

I have lived in major cities, completely off grid on mountain homesteads, countries abroad, and now in a small all American town. I love new experiences and am highly adaptable.
Love meeting new people and connecting.
I'm heading to Puerto Vallerta for a yoga retreat and an extra week or 2 of relaxing in the sun and loving life. I'd love to meet some sweet souls to celebrate with!
