After completing my undergraduate degree, I lived in Peru for seven months. For most of that time, I worked as a volunteer with Helping Overcome Obstacles Peru (HOOP), a nonprofit supporting families in a small town outside of Arequipa. I also spent a month traveling around the country, seeing as much as I could before it was time to leave. The majority of these articles are a collection of travel stories, but as I reflect and revisit this place in my mind some years later, I look forward to thoughtfully adding to topics related to traveling to Peru, living in Peru as a foreigner, and why Peru is a wonderful country to visit.

Hi! I'm a current US expat and longtime traveler based in Strasbourg, France. I'm here because I fell in love with a Frenchie, and I think and write a lot about the identity implications of loving someone so much that you make lasting changes for them. But that's just part of my story. I have deep backpacker-adventure roots and love hiking and sports, including running, horseback riding, and soccer. In recent years, I've also developed a taste for slow city travel and never take for granted an opportunity to explore a new place and indulge in a delicious meal. Finally, I am also an enormous animal enthusiast and adore opportunities to safely and responsibly interact with them. Nothing puts this complex and beautiful world we all share more into perspective than being in nature.
