About Me

i'm the same old girl i always was - just a little older and a lot more fearless. i finally live my life like it's completely mine to live and i support people to pursue their own happiness in the most genuine way they know how. i carry a little note book in my back pocket of things i want to do as i live and it gets longer with every day. i'm a language-loving, rock-climbing, globe-trotting, coffee-addicted, crossword-solving idealist who's a little socialist and a big fan of Canada. i have big dreams and like hearing my friends laugh. i have a need to travel and see the world - i still want to shark dive in south africa, to see the gorillas of rwanda, the elehants in chad, and kayak with the polar bears in sweden. i love my mountain and the amazing beauty of the pacific northwest and as much as i enjoy leaving, i always love coming back home... i appreciate honesty and simplicity, and sometimes i like not wearing a bra. to quote the great Rachel - turns out, i'm fabulous!
