My Travel Story

On October 21, 2016 I'll be getting on a plane with a one way ticket to begin my South American adventure. This is a journey I've been dreaming about, talking about for forEVER.

While I'm keeping my plans loose & open-ended (afterall, the most magical adventure is a spontaneous one), I do have certain things on my agenda like volunteering & doing work exchanges with a mix of animal, eco, and community programs - would love to continue to teach and learn through the performing arts. I'll be starting my trip at the animal rescue center in Ecuador where I volunteered almost 3 years ago. The Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is booked for January. I certainly will be getting some adventure sports in too like paragliding over Iquique, sandboarding in Peru, and maybe trying my hand (or foot?) at surfing. 

My greatest hope is that through this journey of discovering new places and people, I also learn and discover more about myself, become more intune with my heart & where I want to be, what I need to do down the road.

So, when will I return? Simple: when I run out of funds. Please help me adventure longer?
