Portrait

I am 23 years old and I am so lucky to have seen places that I used to only dream about! In 2004, I studied & lived in Adelaide, South Australia. There I was fortunate to travel all along the east coast as well as the southern west coast. The outback, sydney, and the Great Ocean Road were big highlights. I explored Fiji on my way home! Lived barefoot on a small island! In 2005, I took a last minute job & drove across the U.S. to spend the summer in Long Island, NY. In 2006, I was honored to back pack Europe with two of the best girl friends one could ask for...12 countries + world cup madness made it a summer i'd never forget! Germany and Greece were my favorite. But Hungary, Italy, Spain...(sigh) they were all good! In spring of 2007, I went on the around the world trip detailed below. We went to 14 countries (Australia, 6 in Asia, Bahrain, England, 4 in South America, Costa Rica) plus Washington D.C. I look forward to many more adventures!
