About

I've lived on a rural island in South Korea and on a mountainside in Switzerland. I've herded cows in France, snuck across the border in Germany, and gotten mugged in Belgium. I once lived out of my car for nine months and traveled on a motorcycle held together by hope and duct tape.

I travel on an extremely low budget, pack light, shop locally, and love to really engage with new places and cultures. I'm proudly a tomboy, and I love to travel. Won't you join me?
