...i'm a raveler. but now i'm unraveling...

About Me


I love to travel. Love it. It's kind of an obsession really; I'm always thinking about where I'm going next, be it near or far. I also love: my family, my mutt Chaco, and my friends, and learning, and trying new things, and meeting new people, and and and. I'm hyper a good deal of the time (not shy by any stretch of the imagination), I've been called talkative and loud (and that's putting it mildly, ha), I definitely consider myself spontaneous, I'm a tad silly, a bit giggly (especially true when I've had a little drinky drink), and I'm kind of a hippie tree hugger underneath it all.
Also! In September I went on the mooost amazing road trip! I loaded up some clothes and food, and Chaco and I hit the open road... Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, more Texas, more New Mexico, more Arizona, Colorado, and Utah... then we met up with one of my bestest friends and her pup in Park City, Utah, and from there the four of us went to Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho before returning home to Washington. Best. Time. Ever.

I love meeting new people. I especially like it if they're quality people who I can add to my kick ass circle of friends... but sometimes it's just fun to talk to someone random that you'll likely never encounter again. Keeps life interesting and all that. So yeah, if you're looking for someone to chat with, walk around town with, go on some adventure with, or perhaps become the best of buds with, say hi! I'd dig that.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac
