Life is not meant to be wasted away on the hopes of reaching some ethereal destination. Every moment of every breath is a gift give to us, which we should embrace. Live life in crescendo. Only then will the destination will be worth it.

Traveling is a passion of mine, and I have taken various opportunities to visit Europe, Central America and Canada. In some cases, I’ve lived abroad for years to really immerse myself in the cultural experience.

I am an adventurous spirit by nature; my hobbies can attest to my commitment to the extreme. For the past three years, I’ve been involved in the international sport of bobsledding. Traveling down a mile-long track of ice at 80-plus miles per hour in a full-body speedo would definitely classify me as atypical.

For the past five years, I worked as a public relations professional. As of recent, my focus has changed to writing, and began freelancing. I'm currently a professional blogger and writer for various publications.

Why would I want to be the official blogger of Quark Expeditions and travel to Antarctica? Does one really need a reason? Or, is that reason enough?

As I somewhat mentioned at the beginning… Life is a journey, not a destination. Those who embrace this mantra find happiness and adventure in every facet of life.

Vote! …and send me to Antarctica.
