About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live each day like it's the best day of my life.

ABOUT ME

I live in downtown St. Louis, MO, but I travel for a living. Each week I am in a new place, but if you catch me when I'm home, you are more than welcome to stay over! A little about me: Recently, I came home from volunteering in the Peace Corps in the city of Coronel Oviedo, Paraguay. I was working in the Community Economic Development Sector. Before my time in Paraguay, I worked for Semester at Sea on the magnificent MV Explorer traveling the world. I also did a year as an English teacher in South Korea. Prior to this, I worked on cruise ships for almost 5 years that went to Hawaii, Mexico, South America and the Bahamas.

I love to meet people wherever I go. I have explored 61 countries in this world which explains my love and passion for traveling and learning about new cultures... I am always ready for a good time which could be anything from walking around a new city I haven't been before, going out to a nice dinner and trying some exotic new food i've never eaten before, having a drink at a bar, spending an afternoon hiking to somewhere random or (saved the best for last) spending a night out with friends dancing till 4 am. All is good for me!

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. Live each day like it's your last. Enjoy the people you are with and learn as much as you can from each one. Plan your life in a way that lets you experience it all.
