CURRENT MISSION

To meet people who want to learn and explore!

ABOUT ME

Originally from Denver, Colorado, I moved to Salt Lake City to attend the University of Utah. I've been here about 3 years now and I love it! I'm what I would call a regular 21 year old kid. Working part-time, obsessed with school, love to share one, two, or five glasses of wine over a good conversation, and I go out exploring the canyons surrounding Salt Lake City for my escape. Hiking, cycling, running, pseudo-rock climbing, museum-going, food-eating, coffee-drinking, bar-going are all within my range of routine. I have Celiac Disease so my fellow glu-diots can feel comfortable shacking up and not worrying about occupying the bathroom with the effects of an accidental consumption. I bake a lot. So surfers may be gluten-free baked-goods guinea pigs. I am really insanely clean too. Slobs are welcome, just with a grain of salt.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has lots to offer and everyone has lots to learn. We're all part of this crazy species that we are and with that luck, we can really create a rewarding life if we take advantage of the knowledge and experience to be learned from our fellow complex beings. The world is best enjoyed together!!
