CURRENT MISSION

To live life with a tangible vibrancy and intention :)

ABOUT ME
If I was a fruit, I would be a mango. If I was a color, I would be Orange. If drinks could be people, I might be Makers and ginger. Haha I don't know exactly what to say here. Let's start with the basics. Born and raised: Dallas Texas. Attending: University of Denver. I am a pretty care-free person. cough. like everybody else on this website. In a past life, I was a butterfly. I like smiling. and dancing. that too. I mainly hoop dance but I also do a little bit of silk dancing. Cooking food is also a lot of fun. I like to learn a lot about nutrition. (Food inc. and that whole movement towards 'slow foods'. Thus I am a vegetarian leaning towards vegan. But hey at least I'm not gluten free! (I'm sorry to those of you who are). My newest thing I have been into is soap making. I'm all about those essential oils. I find people fascinating and get this crazy high off of meeting new ones! So look me up! If you have read through my profile, then please include my favorite color (Orange) in your message to me. I get many requests and only accept and want to meet people that have taken the time to read my profile and craft a personal message. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floated down the Nile River on Christmas
Backpacked through the Weminuche Wilderness
Kayaked through a bio-luminescent bay at midnight
felt like I stood outside of time
Ran into my Dallas friend in a train station on a remote mountain in Switzerland
Hiked through the grand canyon on Christmas, then had a celebratory J at the top of the trail with my sissy :)
Explored the wonders of Isla Iguana off the coast of Panama
partied in a warehouse outside of Amsterdam with all these badass people
