About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Try everything twice . . . if you still don't like it yet, maybe try it again. :)

ABOUT ME

I'm most often nailed down to one place because of job, family, and money responsibilities like the rest of us, but I dream of a gypsy life and the freedom to travel this amazing planet. Maybe this project will help with that goal. I'm easy going and I aim to experience everything the world has to offer me before I go. I love music, books, and laid back people. I just want to soak up everything this world has to offer any way I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I wanna see it all. good, bad, and ugly. ESPECIALLY ugly! There's no redo's in life, gotta live it now because there may not be a tommorrow in your future. Love the road and the road will love you back. Embrace peace, chaos, energy, silliness. Laugh your ass off. Talk to people. Really talk to them. Chit chat is a waste of our precious ability to connect to each other.

Interests

Reading everything ever written before I croak, nonstop investigation of the world around me, being genuine. I'm a Michigan girl so I love camping and outdoors and every gorgeous part of the natural world! Bonfires and boating and climbing trees and sand dunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hit a bee with a dart once, it was magical. Saw the Northern Lights along a stretch of empty midnight highway. Wrote a symphony in a dream once, I swear to God it was beautiful. Jump annually into frozen lakes in winter (Polar Bear Jump), what a rush! Watched a meteorite crashdown a couple miles straight in front of my car one night, talk about trippy.
