I learned how to surf in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Santa Teresa is gorgeous and one of the big surf capitals in the world, so learning there felt amazing.

Horseback riding in the Andes! The scenery was incredible, and it was one of those experiences that made me realize how much I enjoy being outside and trying new things.
Favorite place in the world
Tree Springs Trail in Sandia Park, NM. My mom took me on it constantly growing up, and it’s the place where I first realized how deeply I love hiking. Absolutely breathtaking views.
What are you most looking forward to this summer?
Getting to explore new places and teach at the same time. Those are my two favorite things, so getting to do both all summer sounds like a dream.
