“I absolutely thrive off new experiences, and therefore, I'm always on the go! Traveling is my greatest source of inspiration & I prefer anywhere with plenty of salt + sun.

Trekking over 2,600 miles between Mexico and Canada on-foot was an incredible experience. I cannot wait for my next travel adventure! I’ve got my travel bag at the ready, but until then, I’m here arranging all of our rental's travels to + from events. ”
