ABOUT ME

I’m quiet, normally because I have too much to tell all at once. My head is a complicated pile of thoughts and dreams, wishes and fears, cravings and a tangled up nostalgia for the past; and oddly the future, too.

I dream of beauty. I wish for courage. I fear failure, yet I crave adventure.

I am tough and I am ambitious. I am smart, but yearn to learn more.

I take chances. I tell the truth. I say no. I spend all of my money. I am random. I sing out loud, and laugh at stupid jokes – usually until my tummy hurts.

I am a runner. I am a nerd. I am a certified tree-hugger. And I proclaim myself to be a hippie.

I am rugged and I am dirty.

I am me, nothing more and nothing less.

But like you, I am a child of the Universe. No less than the trees and the stars. Made purely of nitrogen, calcium, iron, and carbon.

With a passion for adventure and a love for community, I dreamed this dream – one I never thought would come true.

I long to be lost in a culture a ten-fold different than my own. I dream of making a difference in a community that will actually appreciate it. And even more, I aspire to leave this steadfast lifestyle the American society believes is necessary. I want to be surrounded by natural landscapes more beautiful than pictures or words can describe, not parking structures and skyscrapers. I want to escape the white walls of the American society and fill my lungs with color and spirit of those much different than I. I want to find myself daydreaming about what tomorrow will bring, for no plan to be in place and only fate to decide what is next. I want to find myself lost in an unfamiliar country, scared that I will not find my way. I want to give my love to those who need it more than I. I want to make a difference.
