ABOUT ME

I am obsessed with laughing. Period. And I can laugh at almost anything (more often than not, myself)!

Hot showers rock!

The smell of clean clothes and bed sheets just do it for me.

I like horses but not horse hair when found without the horse.

I adore food and wine. I will eat almost anything once.

Sweating without exercising is uncomfortable.

Mosquitoes are annoying.

PHILOSOPHY

How fast are you able laugh? How fast?!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelling is always memorable... maybe not necessarily incredible...

I have travelled by train, plane, bus, car, metro, jeep, ferry, boat,
canoe, launch, motorcycle, bicycle, horse, foot, 4x4; seen hundreds of
beautiful sunsets; been down mines, up mountains and volcanoes; studied
French, read all the Harry Potter books; fished for piranas, bathed in
thermal baths, rafted down white water, been in prison (read: toured),
suffered from altitude sickness; been bitten by countless mosquitoes,
flies, bugs; seen pink dolphins, giant anteaters, big snakes, small snakes,
spiders, tucans, macaws, capybaras, cayman, llamas; visited waterfalls,
glaciers, salt flats, deserts, jungles, white beaches, black beaches,
wetlands, metropolises, towns; been hot, sweaty, cold, freezing; eaten
worms, guinea pigs; drunk a mind boggling variety of fermented beverages,
danced heaps; and... I have met amazing, kind, generous people!
