What I do when I'm not at AAVE: Since I graduated from college in May, 2007 and traveled the entire summer with AAVE, I have spent my time living it up both at home and abroad. I spent September traveling around el Conosur in South America with my best friend. October was spent doing a lot of playing with friends and family as well as coaching crew for a high school club team. I am moving to Jackson, Wyoming at the end of November to become a ski bum and until then, I plan on traveling all over the East coast visiting friends and working as a Handywoman.
