I see all aspects of life as an adventure. If I'm not trying new things, testing boundaries, exploring places I've never been before, and learning as much as I can...

...then I'm resting up and planning for the next adventure.

My current life adventure - slash cultural adventure - is a two-year stint in Champaign, Illinois (Fall 2009 through Spring 2011). This is the first time I've lived in the Midwest, and my first time living in a locale where the population is under 200,000. So far, so good!

My most recent travel adventure was a 4-week-long road trip from Washington DC to Illinois to Seattle to Central California and back to Illinois. Click here to see the itinerary, blog, and photos.
