About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel as much as I can.
ABOUT ME
I don't know what I've done more -- moved or travelled. I've lived in three different states in the Northeast and one in the West (California where I live currently). Don't ask me how many different cities I've lived in though...we'll be here all day.
I've seen most of the United States, through moving, driving cross country, business trips, and vacations. For now, I'm going to focus on small trips within the US. My current job only gives me 10 days off a year and that doesn't really provide ample time for world travel.
Other than travelling, I like to write. I for a local magazine so if you're travelling to Northern California, hit me up and I'd be glad to provide suggestions on what to do.
I also like poetry, photography, and museums. I'm a vegetarian, animal lover, and a feminist. I like learning about other cultures and seeing how people live in different parts of the world and of the country. I am a sponge and want to soak up all this world has to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Even though I live here, I must say I enjoy California the most. It's taken my breath away more than any other place I've seen and I'm happy to call it home. :-)
As far as vacations, though, I'd have to say New Orleans was the best. If you want to travel some where and have a big choice of fun and diverse activities in one place, go to New Orleans. Swamp boat tours, cool above ground cemeteries, Mississippi River Boat rides, street performers, street psychics, plantation tours, and more. The best thing is, you don't have to travel more than 20 minutes to any of these places. I loved it!!
