Traveling
In 2017, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy where my deep passion for traveling began. Through out the four months I spent in Italy, I traveled to 8 additional countries. In 2024 I moved to Germany to be with my husband and since then we have visited 4 additional countries together ,which I have planned an extensive itinerary for each time. I love exploring the diverse culture and landscape of each region we visit, and spend a lot of time solo traveling around Bavaria. My goal in 2025 is to visit as many countries and cities as possible.

In my free time, I enjoy skiing, hiking, editing video footage from my travels, and planning my next adventure.
