I am 37 years old and from Columbus, OH. I have two crazy yet wonderful children and divorced. I do and have done a lot of things but I am primarily an educator, writer, and creative person. We know the saying, "A jack of all trades and a master of none is better than being a master of one."

Right now, I am in a journey of self-discovery and growth, so my hope is travel around and engage with new people in new places. I am a pretty open person and pretty unflappable, especially with a heads up. Also, I enjoy having deep conversations. All in all, I believe in kindness, respect, and understanding and expect the same.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can share a lot about my life experiences, awesome cooking skills, general information (I'm a nerd and proud), advice, and anything else they need. I don't mind discussing difficult topics because I respect other's opinions and I am hard to offend.
