CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

i started traveling abroad when i was 15 by myself and got bitten by the travel bug really bad...and now i cant stop! After finishing high school i took a year off and bummed my way through Europe for 11 months on my own living on nutella, spready cheese, and rice, while stopping in 7 countries along the way and i have never been so happy. I am a recent graduate of Ithaca College with a degree in Culture, Communication and Religion and want to make a career out of travel, my biggest passion! I am currently on a cross country road trip for the next month with my best friend, ending in Washington and stopping along the way to see my beautiful country.
