CURRENT MISSION

I am travelling through the east coast to find out where I want to live next

ABOUT ME

I am originally from OH and have a strong desire to travel all the time. I lived in Seattle for the last two years and now I am back in OH to figure out where I would like to live on the east coast.

I own a marketing business. www.pacificonemarketing is the website.

I believe in living life to the fullest and living on spontaneous energy. I enjoy different people and learn a lot from the people in my life and around me.

I do not drink or use drugs, and am not a rowdy person at all. In fact I am quite agreeable. :)

PHILOSOPHY

not mine but adopted as a qute: "Life is far too important to be taken seriously"

--Oscar Wilde.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just recently travelled the the United States which was a very unique experience. I had the opportunity to stay in San Francisco which is an amazing city. I also stayed in Portland; LA; Santa Barbara; San Diego; Las Vegas; Flagstaff; Amarillo; and St. Louis.

I particularly enjoyed San Francisco and I absolutely loved driving through the Mojave and the Painted Desert. How amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

The one thing I have to share is how to enjoy life without the need for drugs and alcohol. It is so pure to be able to experience life as it is, not trying to make myself and everything around me something different.

I am excited to learn from other people and hope I meet some great people across the country through this site. Let the journey begin.
