ABOUT ME

~Alex and Kathleen~
We have been travelling for soo long, but finally decided to "settle down", or at least have a more permanent home to come back to.

Lately, we've been doing a lot more daytrips, exploring upstate NY/NJ/PA as well as our own city. I can't believe we grew up within a few hours of soo much and even travelled the world without really knowing our own backyard!! Sooo now we are taking advantage of the fact that we live in the greatest city in the world and are looking to share it with other fun loving people! =)

PHILOSOPHY

Kat: Back in high school I fell in love with this quote, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” (Mark Twain)
I try to live by that.

"It is always surprising how small a part of life is taken up by meaningful moments. Most often they are over before they start although they cast a light on the future and make the person who originated them unforgettable." (Phra Piya Maharat)

音乐、电影和书籍

We have a very eclectic taste in music. Love rock, latin, 80's, oldies, and pop. Kathleen also listens to country music and Alex loves his 90's rap and reggae.

I love romantic comedies, dramas, Disney, Bollywood movies, and good psychological thrillers. In addition to Alex hiding his tears during my movies, he loves action and stand up comedy. We both usually end up settling on a suspense or crime drama though. Some favorite movies are A Bronx Tale, Gladiator, Sin Nombre, Airplane!, Salaam Namaste, Coming to America, Rocky, Beauty & the Beast, and so on.. and so on...
