Maker, traveler, and Yesplorer — I love sharing the little corners of the world that make your heart skip a beat.

When I turned 30, I took my first trip to Asia… and ended up moving there. That leap into the unknown changed everything for me.

I became a “yes” person. From that mindset, the idea of a Yesplorer was born—someone who meets life with curiosity, courage, and an enthusiastic “yes” to what’s next. Over time, I found I wanted to be surrounded by other Yesplorers too—people who lean into experience, connection, and discovery.

After growing up in Colorado and marrying my high school sweetheart, we moved to Wisconsin and started our family. Years later, we relocated to Taiwan for my husband’s work in the bicycle industry, where we lived for seven years.

Taiwan changed us. We fell in love with its people, its landscapes, and the rhythm of everyday life. It became a place of constant discovery—wandering night markets, exploring hidden roads, and never quite knowing what we’d find around the next corner. The kindness of the Taiwanese people, in particular, left a lasting imprint on me.

During those years, I began designing and leading small cultural tours, sharing the island with individuals and groups who wanted to experience it beyond the surface. That work became the foundation of what I do today.

Now based in Sisters, Oregon—a mountain town that feels a little like a storybook—we continue to live a creative, adventure-filled life. My husband and I mountain bike with a local youth cycling team, explore the Pacific Northwest in a renovated 1975 travel trailer, and spend our days immersed in making, designing, and creating.

In between all of that, I curate cultural experiences in Taiwan for those who want more than travel—those who want connection, curiosity, and a deeper way of seeing a place.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
