ABOUT ME

After a 3 year hiatus from hosting/surfing... Im back!!! I'm a bit of a language nerd. I love to learn new languages and see different cultures. I've studied Spanish Russian and French, also took 5 years of Latin. I love to travel (don't we all on here), to explore new places, to have a couple ( well multiple) drinks, to see new sights, to meet new people. I'm quite friendly (or at least the whole of the DC police dept, bars, strippers and homeless think so) The things I love most: my husband, family and friends, colloquial expressions, rain at night, the smell of garlic and onions cooking, yoga, hiking, a good massage, sunlight on my face in the morning , a glass of wine

PHILOSOPHY

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.
