Mikaela (Mickey) Tennis

Hi there! I am a Peace Corps Volunteer in Tlaxco, Mexico doing environmental education for CONAFOR (National Forestry Commission).

I am many things. I am...

A travel enthusiast. I've traveled to 24 countries in my 24 years and have no plans of stopping. I love meeting people of different cultures, experiencing our earth's varied beauty but, most of all, I love the act of moving. Of going somewhere.

An amateur runner. I've run 3 half marathons and am hoping for a full marathon very soon!

A longtime vegetarian who loves cooking and experimenting with food. I am passionate about the many intersections between the food we eat and our environmental impact.

A knitter. A cross-stitcher. A drawer. I love crafting and can watch no tv show or listen to any podcast without doing something with my hands.

An outdoor lover. Hiking and camping have been ingrained in me since I was little and I hope I can do the same for my children some day.

A lover of learning. I strive to learn more, even if I'm sometimes lazy about it.
