Heyroo, I'm Dana. I'm a sassy, but sweet and caring lady with morals and manners. I'm 28 years old and I love to go to museums, festivals, fairs, libraries, coffee shops, hookah lounges, karaoke bars, stand-up nights, open Mic nights, parks, concerts and anything lively. I'm super trustworthy and am originally from Ohio. My mother passed in May of 2010 from Lung Cancer. I lived with her and took care of her for 6 years. Losing her was one of the toughest things I've ever endured.
I like odd things like foreign films, reading Encyclopedias, and rats (as pets). I'm Italian, German, English, Native American and a few Heinz 54 additives. I have an amazing sense of humor and rarely get offended. I'm very understanding and don't tend to find cause to judge. I don't do drugs and rarely ever drink. Kids really flock to me it seems. I love all animals, but snakes seem a lil creepyj slithery (haha). I'm a clean guest/person and organized. I'm accompanied by my boyfriend of 3 and a half years as my rock. I have chronic migraines, so rest is extra important for me. I don't smoke cigarettes. I'm a big dairy person. I cook up a storm from scratch. I enjoy crafting and long conversations/polite debates. In easy to get along with. Some of my favorite shows are: . I love Swedish meatballs, Omelettes, tacos, stuffed chicken breast, black olives, stuffed chick burgers, hash browns, cottage cheese, cheesy ham chowder, potato sausage, tuna, my homemade corned beef ball and sirlion pot pie with croissant crust.

My doppelganger and saw Alice Cooper in concert where he pointed me out in the crowd and asked for my astrological sign, then sang to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am eager to learn from your life experiences and journeys. I have stories to tell myself, but I'm still a travel newbie.
