I started traveling the world alone when I was 16 years old. It was a terrifying and exhilarating experience to step foot in a foreign country where not a single person knows your name. Ever since, I've treated life like a grand adventure with endless inspiring people to meet and amazing new things to learn. My thirst has not yet been quenched!

I was a foreign exchange student in Germany for one year, studied cultural anthropology at the University of Georgia, sparked an interest for environmental sustainability by studying abroad in Costa Rica, immersed myself in the social development of South Asia at Harvard, taught English in Vietnam and Thailand, and moved to Miami to work in event production for several international corporations.

But my story doesn't end there! After realizing that I have a passion for boosting other people in their careers and personal lives, I trained for nine months to become a life coach. Since then, I've been helping young women to gain confidence and hone their innate abilities so that they may develop into bold leaders. I blog about living bravely and adventurously on my website- Gutsy Girl Living.

If you'd like to learn more, Gutsy Girl Living features anecdotes on travel, life inspiration, and personal development. Also, I'm active on Twitter and Instagram, so let's get in touch there!
