About Me

I enjoy seeing new places and have seen at least a few places around the country and world, but am always thirsty for more. I promote meaningful travel to people I meet and love to share the excellent experiences I had studying and working abroad. I now work for a Green Building company called The Ecobuilders in Asheville, NC. Things that make me happy = live music, photography, my friends, my boyfriend and my family, having meaningful conversations, having meaningless conversations with my favorite people, wine, cheese, cooking (or attempting to), learning something new, nature, meeting new people, staying busy, relaxing heavily, Buddhism, reading a good book or seeing a good movie, all day music festivals, sunshine, peace
