The first time I knew I loved adventure was when I returned from a 200-mile bike trip around Lake Champlain and wanted to do it again. Until then, adventure had always been someone else's passion. Now it was mine. I was homeschooled until I was 11, and I got my education by experiencing other environments and cultures. I swam on my own for the first time in Thailand. I learned to speak Spanish in Guatemala and French in France. My first sailing trip was from Grenada to Saint Martin. My first backpacking trip was in Alaska. I learned about the pyramids by spending time in Egypt. It sounds like that would have made me an explorer from the start, but it made me want stability, four walls and a roof, and a daily routine. Only when I had my fill of that did I decide to put myself out into the unknown. So who am I? I am both shy and bold. I like social media and shopping and hanging out with my friends. I have seen The Fault in our Stars at least 8 times. I love the band Walk Off the Earth. I like the Youtube channel Yes Theory. I enjoy skippering boats and being the only female lift operator at my local ski resort. I don’t like the stress leading up to a running race. I love independence and figuring things out on my own.
