3. THRIFTING!

As a lover of fashion & sustainability I always find myself at a thrift store or thrifting events. I love the community aspect of thrifting in PDX too so I always have the best time supporting local markets :)

4. TRAVELING

Costa Rica 2025: I got over my fear of heights (ziplining is so fun), tried plantains for the first time (highly recommend), and explored the local towns (and pet all the stray cats along the way)!

I find so much inner-fulfillment by venturing out and expanding my horizons, even if it means I have to step outside of my comfort zone. Traveling and immersing myself into different customs worldwide has allowed me to gain a greater appreciation for humanity, mother earth, and the little moments in life.
