CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am very outgoing and friendly, super easy going and I absolutely love to travel and especially try new foods (I'll try anything.) I have been to over 30 countries and can't wait to add to that list. I LOVE Ice Cream, I love researching travel spots and wish I could get paid to travel :) , I could spend hours, maybe even days at a library, I always have a book that I am reading, I love taking photographs, I love art and architecture, I love random facts, I love to dance, I love animals, I'm very organized and love to plan but I can be spontaneous as well, I love corny jokes, love learning new languages and meeting new people, I try to find the good in everything and everyone, I can function on a very tiny amount of sleep and never need coffee. I love playing board games. I love watching the sunrise and the sunset, preferably on a beach, but any location will do.

My favorite movie is Amelie, favorite tv shows: I love funny sitcoms: Friends, Coupling, Seinfeld, The Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, The Golden Girls, Flight of the Concords

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book and those who do not travel read only 1 page... ~ St. Augustine
