I am a farm girl who moved to the big city, and then just kept right on moving.  I call Seattle my home, but I’m really quite happy traveling, hiking, and camping anywhere in South America with my husband and partner, photographer Robert Kittilson.

I believe that travel connects people in powerful ways, and that the more the world mixes and interracts the better. I am a contributor to Living in Peru, and have an article forthcoming in ParentMap Magazine.

I am an Ex-Bike Messenger turned freelance photographer based out of Seattle, currently traveling with my wife and partner, writer Jessie Kwak, throughout South America in search of Fútbol Jerseys and unique bicycles. I have been riding and crashing bicycles from an early age, and having had the opportunity to work and support myself on a bicycle gives me a unique perspective in a country where many people support their families by cycling.

Also, the recent addition to the MLS of the Seattle Sounders has only made me a bigger futbol/soccer fan. Futbol here in S.A. is crazy big and it is a goal of mine to see as many matches as possible, and of course collect jerseys from local and national teams. Very soon I will have to start jettisoning underwear and socks to make room for more jerseys.

As of the 9th of November I am teaching kids photography for a non-profit organization called FairMail and living in the city of Huanchaco just outside of Trujillo.
