My near and dear ones know that the life I have chosen for myself doesn't include the traditional milestones like getting married, having children, or owning a home. The only idea of a “dream life” I've ever had has been to live by a beach, cruise a Vespa, and own a dog. (I’m just short of the Vespa!) I was blessed with an upbringing that gave me the freedom to follow my dreams, and I did just that!

So, while I’m not bringing you all together for a big celebration, or asking you to buy me silverware for my new home or diapers for my new baby, I instead ask of my family and friends to help me accomplish something as grandiose as a wedding, as joyous as having a child, and as exciting as owning a home… to help me fulfill a long-standing goal to go on my first Euro-trip! 

I’ve been planning this for 3 years now and life keeps throwing obstacles at me making it a very difficult thing for me to do on my own. So I have set up a travel registry, a list of ways you can help me finally make my travel dreams come true! The list includes everything from flights to train rides to admission tickets to travel accessories. I have added links to some of these costs so you can see what I'll be up to. ANYTHING helps and EVERYTHING is appreciated!!!

My 38th birthday is 4/22/24 and I would like to officially kick off my FUNdraiser that date and let it run til I raise enough. I'll be posting about this on social media and will likely connect individually as I try to get my word out. I appreciate everyone's love and support and well-wishes. Thank you!!!
