Born in Germany and raised in Montana, Shanina studied International Business and Marketing at the University of Montana with short study abroad stints in Germany and Italy. After graduating she worked in Advertising, eventually leaving office life to spend three years backpacking and volunteering in over 30 countries across Europe, Asia, and Africa. She’s recently hung up her backpack and relocated to Melbourne, Australia — taking time off frequently to explore Asia and road-trip across the United States.
