Now Voyager, sail thou forth to seek and find

Femme vagabond, professional marketer, and expert snacker who walks fast, runs slowly, cycles cautiously, 'grams too often, dances, and doodles.

Lifelong Chicagoan, intermittent Hongkonger, transplant Washingtonian. Conquerer of public transit. Frequently on a plane.

I read romance novels, photograph my food, listen to records, watch movies, mix, mingle, make lists, check 'em twice, dream big, change my hair color often, and am always in the process of dreaming up my next adventure.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Quit my wild advertising job in Hong Kong to travel across Thailand, Myanmar, and Vietnam for two months.

Runners up? Scuba diving a flooded quarry in rural Illinois, Cuban cigars and lahmacun at 3AM in Istanbul, Frenchmen St. on a muggy evening, a Hawaiian sunset, couples slow-dancing to blues on a snowy fire escape, sweaty, intimate late-night house shows in a small Florida college town, jumping out of an airplane in Oregon, drinking with new friends in the streets of Caribbean Cartagena, and watching a punk show from a tilt-a-whirl.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can cook a killer meal (or, okay, maybe make decent omelet) out of leftovers, talk for ages about movies, transition politics, and fiction, show you some silly YouTube clips, pick delicious produce, help you plan your next vacation, dance the night away, solve Rubik's Cubes, draw a caricature, edit your novel, and maneuver around public transport like a champ. Oh, and I know an amazingly quick method for tying shoes -- ask me about it.

I like people with interesting stories and experiences.

I really want to learn how to salsa dance, be a better scuba diver, bake, run with decent form, dye my own hair, use Adobe Illustrator properly, and screen print.
