Profile details

About

I have been a hairstylist for 18 years, and have spent the past eight years traveling the world – ready for a career change! I recently became a Mrs. and dog mom, which are both things that light up my world.

Travel style

I love diving into culture and experiencing the local side of things. Unless it's absolutely amazing, you will rarely catch me in a museum. I am more likely to be at a local watering hole making friends and changing my itinerary based on their recommendations. I'm known for staying in touch with people I meet on my travels, and traveling to see them every year or so to share a vacation in another country. These are the things that light me up. I also have a huge passion for photography since my husband is a photographer. We love to spend all day just wandering a city, capturing its beauty and stopping at cafes along the way.
