  • V!VA Travel Guides

In December 2008 I graduate from the University of Montana with BA degrees in journalism and Spanish. After spending the year 2007 studying in Chile, I decided I wanted to work permanently as a journalist in South America. I currently work at V!VA Travel Guides as a copy editor.

  • Hometown

    Missoula, MT, USA

  • Location now

    Quito, Ecuador

  • Work published

    The University of Montana newspaper: The Montana Kaimin

  • Craziest place

    Columbus, MT, my hometown of 2,000 people. Small towns are bizarre.

  • Advice

    Pack lightly; smile; take extra socks and water wherever you go; be wary of strangers but don't be afraid to trust people either

  • Traveled before

    In 2007 I trekked from Arica to Punta Arenas during different trips, as well as visited a few spots in Argentina and Uruguay. I spent about three weeks in Bolivia, hiking, caving and sightseeing.
