About me

There's a reason my friends call me GoGo. I have always been bubbly and full of energy, and when I have a goal I never quit until it reaches fruition. I am also creative, versatile, and good at brainstorming unconventional ways to overcome obstacles.

What's more, I have always had a passion for travel and adventure. I am enthusiastic about visiting new destinations and I am compelled to learn everything I can about the history, the culture, and the uniqueness of a place. I love outdoor activities, including hiking, biking and kayaking. And no trip is complete without trying the local cuisine!

I hope you enjoy my travel blog, tips and guides. I have traveled to every continent except Antarctica, and have plans to visit the 8th continent in November (Madagascar!) I am a skilled travel planner and itinerary creator.  I also offer step-on guide services, and work for a local tour company in Portland, Oregon.
