Salut ! My friends call me "colorful, independent, adventurous, and spunky" and I call it soaking up the beauty that life has to offer. I'm addicted to travel, chocolate, and conversation, and take any opportunity to live in different parts of the world. I am passionate about the arts—visual, musical, etc.,—and am on a long-term journey to explore what artistic activity is happening in different international communities. Question, comment, or suggestion? Let's connect and chat about it!
