CURRENT MISSION

To find myself through getting to know others. The world is a massive, beautiful place full of people, places, and experiences I want to learn and better myself from.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling because each time I do I feel like I return as a more complete individual. That being said, I wonder if maybe I won't be complete until I've seen the world. Who knows? :)

I am a very active person, I love the water and the mountains. I live on the north-eastern coast in the U.S. where I sail during the summer and fall. Hiking, cycling, kayaking, or just out for a walk...as long as I'm outside (and have my camera) I'll be happy.

I've been to Costa Rica and Italy, but the place I long to visit most is NEW ZEALAND! However, there are so many spots on this Earth I want to stay and explore I can't even begin to name them all. I am a friendly, curious person with a big heart and I'd love to meet other wonderful people full of their own unique attributes willing to share some adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard, play hard.

White water rafting in Costa Rica, hiking the hills in the wine country of Italy, sitting by the ocean with a full moon overhead and listening to the waves in Maine.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied Special Education, I know a great deal about various disabilities, adaptations and assessments.The field has also taught me extreme patience, kindness, and the importance of advocating for and appreciating everyone's unique qualities. Differences make us wonderful.
