Thankful for all the people, from Miami to Philadelphia to Tallahassee, who have helped me get back on my feet the past few months. Peace Corps didn’t work out, but when one door closes another one opens and I’m super excited to be starting a new job in Washington D.C! Check out my new blog post (link in bio) for the full update!

Doesn’t get more American than baseball, hot dogs and a $15 beer 🇺🇸⚾️

What a crazy few days. I found out Peace Corps was sending me home (temporarily) Friday morning, traveled 32 hours halfway across the world and arrived in Tennessee just 2.5 hours before @briannam28‘s wedding. I had been mentally preparing myself to miss this day for almost a year and I’m honestly still shocked by how the past few days have unfolded. But, despite the jet lag and exhaustion, I’m so thankful things worked out I got to be here celebrate with them!

Enjoying the sights, sounds and food of Kathmandu. New blog post about some of my favorite adventures in the city so far 🇳🇵(link in bio) #nepal #kathmandu #city #temple #travel #food

From England, to South Korea, to Tennessee, it’s been a year full of adventures, counting down until we see each other again and a whole lot of FaceTime calls. Long distance is challenging, but this guy somehow makes it the easiest thing I’ve ever done. @nicklucas92

This tap supplies water to about 15 households in my village. And for the fourth day in a row, there’s no water. Adapting to life in a rural village is hard in a lot of ways, but learning to cope with water scarcity and its far-reaching impacts has, by far, been the hardest. Check out my new blog post about how water scarcity impacts my day-to-day life in village (link in bio) #nepal #water #climatechange
