I’m a woman who loves outdoor adventures and travel photography, and I live on the road in my Ram ProMaster van that I turned into a home. My goal is to encourage you to try new things by sharing the ups and downs of my adventures.
I have moved 32 times and changed my address 33 times. I’ve visited 36 countries and lived in 5 of them. I’m not from a military family—I just like to move around a lot.
I was born in Arkansas, grew up in Wisconsin, and then I decided to leave everything behind and move to Hawaii. I sold almost everything I owned and flew to Oahu by myself, not knowing anyone. Hawaii felt like home right away.
For four years, I worked hard in college while studying. I graduated with a degree in Business and Spanish from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. After college, I started my career at Abercrombie & Fitch, managing stores in Hawaii, California, Colorado, and the Midwest.
By the time I was 25, I got a big promotion and moved to Europe. I lived in Milan and then London, where I learned Italian and trained to be an International General Manager.
After spending 13 exciting months in Campania, South Italy, where I learned to drive like the Italians do, I decided to leave my job in the corporate world. I wanted to follow my dream of becoming a photographer and traveling for a long time.
I’ve always loved traveling and being outdoors. As soon as I finished my job in the corporate world, I checked how much money I had saved. I decided to use it to travel. I sent my few things to a storage unit and swapped my apartment in South Italy for a backpack, with no fixed address.
Thanks for joining me here. Maybe one day, we’ll meet on the open road. #VanLife
