ABOUT ME

I am addicted to mountains and snow. I have lived in Colorado for the past seven years, first as a student at Colorado State University, and after graduation as a ski instructor in Aspen. This type of job allows for a lot of travel in the "off season" and Ive spent this time traveling and working in Alaska, South America and now Asia.

I am a compassionate and caring and sometimes sensitive individual. I become friends with people quite easily and love the crazy group of people who I consider my close friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life trying to understand others and the cultures that they come from.
