Introducing Me!
Sep. 2, 2012—This is my first official blog post as an Inside ‘Dore and I couldn’t be more excited!

The Crazy Ones Will Change the World -R.I.P, Jobs

These great people are a source of courage, a trigger...
Going International -A Celebration of Culture and Adventure
Oct. 7, 2011—This past Saturday was one of those grateful days that reminded me how privileged I am to have the opportunity to travel, to live, and to grow.
