I have always had an interest in the world and the different cultures that make it so amazing. This interest is what has lead to a BA in Geography from UCSB and eventually to Santa Barbara Travel. I am fascinated by how different and surprisingly alike we all are. I love to experience local art, music, and food (especially the food) of the places that I visit and feel that the only way to truly experience a destination is to take the less traveled path. Other than traveling, I love to cook for friends and family, hike with my husband and our two dogs, read and watch movies. I love the outdoors and feel most at home in the mountains and forests of the Pacific Northwest.
