The Beginning

I am a 24 year old lady: Born in Portland, Reared in Bothell, Washington; Calgary, Alberta; Woodinville Washington...schooled in Bellingham, Washington....and most recently lived in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle.

I can't explain what exactly motivated my decision to uproot my life as I had known it for the past year and move myself and my belongings back to Juneau, Alaska. It's something that is so difficult to put a finger on. I felt that a myriad of variables came together and it was the perfect time.

Well, I sit here now, in a gorgeous apartment in Douglas, Alaska across from the downtown boruough of the city. My friends graciously let me set up shop here for the next month until I find a new apartment. I recently took a week vacation to the interior of Alaska to see some friends and attend a music festival in Cantwell, AK. Needless to say it was epic.

Next week I begin my job as a driver-guide for Princess-Holland America here in town. I will drive buses and woo passengers. It's a draining job, but can be fun at times too. I'm excited to work with my hands and my body and talk to people away from the confines of a desk and a computer. After the season I hope to travel, my best friend is getting married and a bluegrass festival is calling my name in San Francisco.

This blog, I wanted to set up so my friends and family far away can see what I'm up to and look at my photos without having to set up "crack" book accounts as a friend calls them.

We'll see how this pans out :)
