She was born in a town in New York and moved to Spain at the age of 19 to learn Spanish. She quickly fell in love with the country, the people, the food, and the beautiful landscape, so she decided to convert this to her home. Since then, she has worked as a bike guide in Spain, as well as leading hiking, backpacking, and student educational trips all over the world. She fulfilled her dream trip to cross the United States by bike, pedaling more than 7000 km and years later she accomplished her second goal of pedaling all over the North and South Islands of New Zealand. While she aspires to take more trips like these, she is quite content living another dream–working in what she likes most.
