• What was the last big trip you took? Historically, my birthdays have been a little on the boring side… but not this year! I decided to lean into new territory and celebrate. Some good friends and I woke up early, put on costumes (I was in a bear onesie), and hiked to the top of a mountain where we danced, ate cake, and skied down.
• What excites you the most about working for BE this summer? I can’t have one thing here.  First, I love how Bold Earth puts you in the present moment.  Your attention is 100% on that days activity with the community we create.  I also love being apart of the growth that the campers and I experience, we all learn new things about ourselves and it’s amazing to have those new perspective.  They can be life changing. Last, this might sound a little corny but Bold Earth feel like a family and running a trip or two in the summer is a special time of the year.
