After about 5 years, I think it’s time to refresh this page a little bit.
*I’ve chosen not to make this a regurgitated resume. Check out “My Accomplishments” to see more on my career.*
Hi, I’m Samantha. Still Clarkson, legally, but when I change my name I’ll be Samantha White.
I married my husband, Andrew, April 22nd 2024. It was a Monday, and it was the most fun I’ve ever had. He’s my best friend and absolutely the love of my life. 10/10 highly recommend finding someone like that.
We have a cat, Myra. I’ve had her since I was 11, and I’m nearly 25 now. We love her but she’s a bit of a menace sometimes.
I enjoy cooking, specifically with my sous vide, and I make my own sourdough bread from a starter as well as my own kombucha. I think it’d be fun to try and ferment my own alcohol in the future, and look forward to the day we have enough land to raise a flock of chickens and a few kids.
I love to ski and sail. I used to race in both, but only enjoyed ski racing. Two years in a row I did a month+ long ski trip in different areas with friends, which was a great time. I also played tennis, and was good enough to teach the kids, but no more. I’m not naturally athletic, so everything physical I’ve done in my life I’ve had to really put a lot of work towards to get as good as I did, which was only ever average or mediocre anyway.
I’ve lived in Georgia, New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota, Texas, and Florida. I hope to add another state to that list. Florida is not as fun to live in as it is to vacation in. By far my favorite has been Texas, but I moved to be closer to my then-boyfriend, now-husband.
I skipped college, and started my career at the age of 19. While I love learning, I hated school, and this was the best path for me. I traveled a lot, especially since the pandemic hit and made remote work so common. Some of my fondest memories are from traveling with friends both near and far. I love a spontaneous adventure.
My goals with this blog are a little undefined. I write both for myself and for others, I share my experiences for myself and others. I share my beliefs, worldview, lessons learned, opinions, and everything else for myself and others. I’m not even 25 yet as I write this, and I feel as though I’ve lived more life than many people a decade older than me have. Some of my adventures will make it here, many will not.
I hope you find something here that interests or helps you in some way! Stick around and let’s see what life can show us.
