CURRENT MISSION

Travel, learn a bit more about this strange round thing I've found myself on and it's inhabitants, eat good food, see great art, read, learn something new, have a quick nap, repeat.

ABOUT ME

Emily - Hello All! In a nutshell, I'd classify my self as an ardent reading, walking, talking, thought-swapping, music-listening, cooking, eating, drawing, painting, new-people-meeting, yoga-ing, hiking, biking, movie-watching, thought-journaling, world-exploring enthusiast. An artist in the loosest sense of the word (I like to make stuff and would rather not get a real job). I'm just your typical Southern Liberal, Cuban/Puerto Rican, vegetarian, environmentalist girl.
Tamar - Hi all! I love meeting new peeps, and swapping anecdotes. My second home is in Brazil, where I hope to spend the next few years studying, improving my proficiency in portuguese. I teach and perform modern aerial dance and love love love to dance dance dance. I like kombucha, kefir, herb gardening, and npr podcasts.

PHILOSOPHY

I quote the late great Kurt Vonnegut Jr...who was quoting his son...
the purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved.
