About Me & Hole Stories

Places I've been

How people treat you, is their karma. How you react, is yours.
Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm, and adventure... And there is no end to the adventures, if you seek them with your heart and eyes wide open. #HoleStoriesTravelTroll
Adventures on the Olympic Peninsula! ⠀ Is there a place in this world that resonates with your soul? ⠀ For me, that place is the PNW. The Pacific Northwest is deep within my soul -- it calls to me and I am drawn to it like a craving I can't even begin to explain... Endless snowboarding, driving anywhere and sleeping in my car, bonfires on the beach, good coffee, great beer, adventurous people, hot springs, hiking, coastal camping, lush green forests, etc etc... Oh, how I love the PNW!
Going through pictures from this summer and contemplating my next adventure! Ideas for February?? Or big ideas for this summer?? I'm thinking snowboarding, and then... Maybe some crazy epic journey! ⠀ Where are YOU headed next?? =)
The only thing anyone can promise you about traveling, is that you'll return a different person.

Throwback to the past decade - This was taken in 2009, I think... ⠀ For those of you who don't really know me, here's my last 10 years, in a nutshell: ⠀ I graduated in 2008 with my Master's in Math Education. Taught for 3 years in Virginia. Created ℍ𝕠𝕝𝕖𝕊𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤.𝕔𝕠𝕞 Quit teaching in Virginia to travel the world. Traveled all over for about 2 years. Lived and worked in Norway (tending bar). Drove across the US on my motorcycle. Moved to Seattle (teaching Math at a college). Created my own tutoring business. Traveled some more. Moved to Spain (teaching English, Math, and Science). Traveled. Moved back to Seattle (teaching Computer Science). Bought my Tiny House! @TinyHouse.Seattle Had my house up in the mountains Snowboarded 4-5 days per week. Then moved my tiny house close to downtown Seattle. Traveled some more. Moved back to Norway (teaching Math and Computer Science). And, as of just a few weeks ago, just became an official resident of Norway =) ⠀ My life for the past 10 years has been traveling the world, and teaching in between big adventures... I'm really proud of this life-of-freedom that I've built for myself and I'm super excited to see what the next decade will bring! ⠀ I really appreciate all of you who have been following my journey - you guys rock <3 Happy New Year, everyone!
I bet the city of Ljubljana looks amazing right now for the holidays. I was there this summer and it was super cute and cozy. It was cool outside, so people were wearing jackets and jeans, and the cafes had heaters and cozy blankets outside. I can only imagine how cozy and cute it is now... Has anyone been there for the holidays?? =) ⠀ BY THE WAY!! Ljubljana made my "Top Favorite Cities" list!
