Dear You,
It brings me such joy to share part of my world with you. I was born in the Emerald City of Seattle and raised in a place some refer to as the undiscovered Unalaska, a small beautiful island tucked away along the Aleutian Chain southwest of Alaska.
I grew up with a love for writing, exploring beautiful landscapes, and being surrounded by illuminated bodies of water. As a young girl, I would spend summers in Unalaska daydreaming of travels beyond that little town to connect with people, culture, and things in this big world. Many a days were spent romanticizing images from the magazines filled with models and exotic travel destinations that spread across the pages. Somehow here I am now years later, welcoming you to follow along as I discover those sought after colorful uniquely felt experiences beyond my imagination as a little girl. Like a wave as it curls back to kiss the seashore, I hope my diary draws you back to this place like a wave time and time again to follow my journey.
❝ Like a wave as it curls back to kiss the seashore, I hope my diary draws you back to this place like a wave time and time again, to follow my journey. ❞
My hope is to touch you, inspire you, and make you simply gush over details shared through these pages of mine. You’ll find souvenirs, adventures to destinations, and stories, memories made — written here in my diary.
