“We wanderers,

ever seeking the lonelier way…”


Travel abroad has provided some of the most catalytic experiences of my life.

I highly value travel & consider it a cornerstone of my personal growth.

Even though I’m naturally outgoing, traveling alone forces me out of my comfort zone & inclines me toward interacting with people I might miss the chance to meet if I was otherwise focused on travel buddies.

I go out of my way to avoid hitting only the cliche “Must-See” places of a city I’m visiting in favor of spending more time where local people hang out; where the Menu isn’t in English. No matter the city, this M.O. has always led to fun memories that I’ll never forget.

I’ve worked for 4 international companies and enjoy getting to know people from different cultures.

Mountain climbing has proven to be an effective method of overcoming obstacles with my mental/physical health, which I know many others could benefit from. I plan on using this campaign to get the word out about how much of a difference this can make.
