"Hey everyone! I'm so excited to be hosting you in Guatemala! Guatemala was the first place I ever traveled solo, and it was completely life-changing. I fell in love with the people, the nature, the culture, and the food, so much so that after traveling more of Latin America, I came back to make this place home. I've now been living in Antigua for just under two years, and I can't wait to share this place with other women travelers!

That love is what led me to run group trips here (in Guatemala) for women, supporting local communities along the way. When I'm not running trips, you'll find me traveling, hiking, and making art. I'm also a fellow University of Michigan alum like Sydney (go blue!) and originally from New Jersey."
