ABOUT ME

I definitely thrive on spontaneity. I love to dream up odd things to do and turn them into amazing memories. I love meeting people - especially someone who can teach me something, which is pretty much everyone. I love the outdoors and trying to live in harmony with nature & people.

PHILOSOPHY

Once I stop worrying about things in life that are out of my control... Life becomes much more enjoyable. I want to give more than I receive.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson. I also like The Beatles, Coldplay, Radiohead, Muse, Sara Bareilles, Snow Patrol, Enya, Phoenix, and Arjun.

I like to read historical fiction and books based in other countries and cultures. Reading is a window into another world - I prefer to read books set in a different time period or different atmosphere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I served in Peace Corps for a year in Cameroon where I met my husband and made a beautiful baby girl. I had to leave early, but that was not what I expected to happen when I left.

Teach, Learn, Share

...and I shambled after as I've been doing my whole life after people who interest me, because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, made to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous... yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars -Kerouac
