Growing up, I always enjoyed spending more time with my parents and sisters than I did with friends. We went everywhere together and we traveled constantly. When we lived in France, every weekend was spent in my dads VW van, traveling somewhere new. When we moved to SC, those things didn’t change. Though we didn’t live in a small French village anymore and the Alps weren’t in our backyard, we discovered somewhere new every weekend in the Blue Ridge mountains, camping out of the VW van still, hiking and climbing as often as we could. The thing I love about my family is that we choose to spend all of our time together. When my older sister got a job in Utah, we literally all followed her out here, because we are those crazy people who follow each other wherever we go. I’m lucky to have been raised with the spirit of constant adventure alongside my best friends.
