CURRENT MISSION

Shreddin' it up in Colorado!!!!!!

ABOUT ME

I'm a college grad with no "grown up" job...so, I'm basically out to have a laugh, learn something new, and have as much fun as I can each day. I love adventuring/exploring and meeting new people and can't wait to make some new friends.
I'm keen on impromptu dance sessions, beachin it, running/biking, meditating, and learning new things. I am a sucker for bad jokes, costume parties and canceled tv series.
I want to make the most of every experience and I'm at the time in my life where I am living by the mantra, say yes more (thanks to Panda and Lil Joey in Oz!) and not to regret anything. I want to experience all I can before I get locked back into the daily grind of life with huge responsibility (like grad school, kids, cars, houses!) I'm as free as a bird now, and I love it! When I got home from Australia and New Zealand I was lucky enough to spend a beautiful, oil free summer in my hometown on the Gulf Coast (the most beautiful beaches I've ever encountered) and now, as much as I love the heat and ocean, I figured I should move and actually see winter. So I'm off to Colorado to see snow for the first time! I can't wait!

PHILOSOPHY

These quotes are how I start each day:

my mantra: the most wasted of days is one without laughter by ee cummings

You have the choice to allow your mind to be happy or sad. Practice being happy of mind.

Life does not have to be well thought out; it only has to be lived with heart.

Finding myself playing a soccer match with kids in a squatter settlement outside Lima, Peru. Wonderful, welcoming people, and quick on the feild!

Another great memory is while hitchiking in NSW Australia, getting picked up by some awesome locals who invited us to camp along the Murray River for a few days with them! Great time!
