Brit and I met a few years ago in our first clinical rotation during our accelerated nursing program. Although, we were just friends at first due to other circumstances, it wasn't until the following summer that we sparked our relationship.
Shortly after, as the summer came to an end, we began to officially date while out at a winery on Long Island. From there, we began taking roading trip after road trip getting to know each other more and more. I enjoyed getting to throw Brit into a life of adventure.
She fell in love with the lifestyle. One of our first true adventures was road tripping in a Dodge Promaster around the entire state of Colorado. On this trip we did as much skiing as possible, our favorite Crested Butte, and stopped at all of the national parks in the state.
The real test presented itself when we got the van stuck at 12,000 ft in the snow across from Breckenridge. The only way to get out was to floor it down the road further, as any slight hill was enough to get stuck. so, Brit jumped out to stand in the road to make sure there was no oncoming cars. And there I was flooring the van up the hill of snow, stopping for nothing.
Well, the good news is we made it! But what a story that was, and it was only the beginning. That describes our relationship perfectly. No matter what happens, we are always there to work as a team to move forward.
I think we learned more about one another after that trip than we thought possible. After that day, I knew there was no other person out there I wanted to be on this crazy adventure called life.
I love to travel! I have taken several backpacking trips throughout the world and continue to have a passion to explore more places. Some of my favorite countries I have been to include Nepal and Croatia.
I am always active. Whether I head to the gym for a workout, or jump into the water on my wakeboard, I never sit still. I have a passion for all adventure sports including climbing, skiing, wakeboarding, and cliff jumping.
I have two mottos I live by. The first, I strive to try something new or challenge myself in some way each and every day. The second, one in which has influenced my decisions in life greatly, is I love to learn. No matter what it is, I'm always down to learn something new or take on a difficult situation.
My favorite place growing up was the White Mountains in New Hampshire. Although not officially, it will always feel like my home from the countless trips I have taken each year since I was a kid.
I'm Canadian, originally from Prince Edward Island, but spent most of my life moving from place to place. However, every summer I have travelled back to the island where most of my family still lives.
I love being outdoors. Some of my favorite hobbies include skiing, hiking, sailing and paddle boarding. From mountains to ocean, I love it all.
When traveling to new places one of my favorite things to do is find the BEST coffee shops. I am an avid coffee enthusiast!
I am always on the go. My health is super important to me, whether it's eating a healthy lunch or waking up early to go to spin, you can find me always taking the time to take care of myself.
