Hi! Hello! Welcome!
Grab a cup of tea and I’ll tell you my story.
It all started when...
I’ve been a staffer for U.S. Senators, a teacher of journalism, a public lands journalist, a wildlife advocate, a Wilderness advocate, a campaign manager, a gluten-free life coach (not making that up), and currently an online business owner who works out of her home while spending every spare minute writing, filming, playing outside, and planning her next adventure.
Where I live …
I currently live near Obidos, Portugal, about an hour north of Lisbon on the Silver Coast.
I am from a small town in northern Montana. I’ve always lived “in the middle of nowhere” and places remote.
Hence, the urge to travel and explore the world both near and far.
What I believe …
Simplicity in writing is everything.
Joy isn’t found in money or power or things (but it can vastly reduce your stress when there’s more than enough of what you need).
Climate change is real, and a threat, and living and traveling lightly on the planet is now a necessity, not a luxury.
Travel opens the mind to new people and places.
Humor is the healing balm we all need.
Good food can heal us, bring people together, and change the world for the better.
Walking alongside someone is the best way to listen to them, and see life through their eyes.
Respect others, and they will respect you.
The world is a better place because of our diversity.
Telling the truth is the best way to understand ourselves.
Being optimistic helps.
Giving is a practice.
Writing is a habit.
