ABOUT ME
Quit my teaching job in the U.S. to move to Spain and live my dream of living abroad. I'd like to see as much of this side of the world before heading back. I hope to experience traveling on a deeper level by meeting locals here and in my future travel destinations. I'm laid back and easy going and hope to meet some cool peeps who are easy going as well.
PHILOSOPHY
Be like a child and live in awe and ego-less. Do not judge people and speak and listen with an open heart. See the best in people rather than focus on their flaws. Be as kind and helpful as possible during each and every encounter through out each and every day. Don't complain, complaining doesn't make any situation better, it actually makes it worse, accept what is and drop it like its hot.
Interests
Nature/the outdoors, learning about different cultures/even better as an active participant, psychology, sociology, spirituality, current world issues, children, child development, emotional intelligence, world music/live music, inspirational people, dancing, reading, food, laughing, living, conversations about any of the above things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sleeping under the stars atop a building in Sevilla on a spontaneous idea to do so overlooking the beautiful skyline. Experiencing a Portuguese rap battle in Brazil and partying in the ruins of a castle in the middle of the forest underneath the night sky. The view of Africa from the South of Spain, so cool. Bumping into a turtle laying eggs in a dirt hole it excavated. And lots of other little moments in life that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside and make me realize that it's good to be alive! :D
