The love of travel was instilled in me when I was 17 and my parents took me to Europe on a bicycle tour. A bike, that carried 2 pannier bags,  packed with 15 lbs of clothes and essentials to last a month.  A life changing experience I treasure to this day.

I grew up in Santa Barbara, CA. I attended NAU in Flagstaff AZ, and graduated with a degree in Dietetics. Soon  after graduation a friend and I wanted to take some time to travel and decided on  Australia.  After six  months in the South Pacific, I came back  and enrolled in Travel School.  While not what my parents expected after 4 years of college, I couldn’t deny my passion for travel.

I enjoy  the outdoors, running, biking and hiking, and spending lots of time with my son, family and friends.  Traveling when I can, near or far. Planning the next adventure is always part of the fun. I enjoy my down  time  reading a good novel, John Grisham a favorite, and  inspiring true stories.
