Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. -

About Me

I know the direction in which I want my life to go, but I'm not sure how to get there. Sometimes things we want are beyond our control, so we have to make the most out of what we have. Traveling is by far my biggest addiction! There are so many places I want to go in the world! It's Kenya and Tanzania in 2008!, but if I named all the places I want to go I would have to name off almost every possible destination. I love the places I've already been, and hope to go back to a lot of them someday. I've been to 17 countries...my goal is 100!(www.travelerscenturyclub.org) I love pictures and like to scrapbook. I grew up in Oregon and started working seasonally in Alaska in '03. I completely fell in love with the state, but it took me until now to move up here permanently and I cant imagine living anywhere else!!!

Northwesterners do have a dialect
