Portrait

I'm a California girl living in Geneva, Switzerland with my husband and globe-trotting cat, Scout. We are living the expat life for a couple years and traveling as much as possible while we are here in Europe. I love the adventure of visiting new places and learning new things. Besides traveling I'm learning French and working on my Master's degree. I'm also an amateur photographer.
