Growing up in rural Oregon, I often planned nature-based activities for my friends and family. My first few trips abroad set the stage for a lifetime of wanderlust, and after longer international adventures I knew that I wanted a lifetime of global exploration. I sought a university program that would enable a career in travel and eventually graduated from Oregon State University-Cascades with a Bachelor of Science in Eco & Adventure Tourism. I’ve moved around the globe working in the outdoor recreation industry, helping people experience everything from hiking and camping to sailing and adventure racing. I love inspiring others to expand their perspectives – to revel in the beauty of nature, eat food they haven’t tried yet, visit different cultures, and explore places all around the world. At Journeys I primarily specialize in Asia destinations.
