Join me as I share my travel, experiences and all the magic in between. I’ve been nomadic since the age of 8! My endless thirst for adventure began in the woods of the Pacific Northwest and grew into leading backpacking trips through the wilderness. Eventually moving to Alaska to become a tour guide. I’ve circled the globe twice, stopped counting countries and lived out a backpack for nearly a decade. Now I live in a self-build van full time.
Thank you Logan at Foll Exposures for this stellar black and white photo of me.
