About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy every moment.

ABOUT ME

I come from a mountain town, and am constantly struggling between my love of cities and small towns. I've grown up with an amazing family, friends, and community; a home I can truly call sweet.

For me, being an open-minded, positive person is important; travel and learning about how other people live is the best education out there!

I love music, dancing, taking excessive pictures (it's hereditary), traveling, cousins, driving odd vehicles, road maps, hiking, cooking, running, food and nutrition, airports, hammocks, a good book, mojitos, even numbers, wildflowers, and really dark chocolate!

I'm a vegetarian (with a weakness for soft shell crab), and a perfectionist/over-achiever to a fault!

Music, Movies, and Books

Hand me a book, and I'm happy for a while. Historical fiction, fiction that takes place abroad, mathematical books, intriguing non-fiction, magazines, Harry Potter.... it's all good!

I love love love music; almost any genre (less heavy metal, rap and modern country) has a place in my life. My current favourites are The Band, Mumford and Sons, The Black Keys, and Florence and the Machine.

I thought I watched a lot of movies, but I always seem to be the person who "hasn't seen it", so I'm ready to be enlightened with films I should see!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled in India, drove across the USA, watched the sunrise over the Himalayas.

Teach, Learn, Share

One of my goals in life is to learn to play as many musical instruments as I can. I'd love to share/teach my knowledge of music, and learn from anyone who is willing to put up with my enthusiasm and excessive questions. :) I also know a lot about food, and would absolutely love to learn to cook better!
