As far back as I can remember, I have loved to explore and adventure in the world around me. New places, people, and different cultures have always fascinated me. This exploratory spirit was cultivated in the mountains of North Carolina where I attended a rugged all-girls summer camp. We had no music, magazines, or outside distractions; just nature. It was here that I first experienced the magic that happens when women are present in nature. Two decades later, this would become a core building block for the foundation of Journey Land & Soul.
 

In my teens and early twenties, I traveled to Central America, Europe, Asia and Africa. I became captivated by the stories of women around the globe. My travels exposed me not only to the vastness of the outside world, but also to the depths of each of our inner worlds. I volunteered with non-profits that focused on the advancement of women and became a mentor for female refugees. Through this work a seed was planted: despite our differences, humans are bound by a shared desire to lead fulfilling and joyful lives.
