United States of America

Home sweet home, I love America! I’ve lived in three states over my life: Louisiana, Arkansas, and now Georgia. I’ve been to 39 states. I love discovering new-to-me parts of the country, especially in national parks during hiking trips with my friends.

At the top of my USA bucketlist is Lake Tahoe, upstate New York, and coastal Alaska.
