CURRENT MISSION

Cause a small ruckus and make every moment inspired

ABOUT ME

I'm quirky, adventurous, caring, outgoing, funny and brave. My two artistic passions are writing and theatre. I love literature, acting, dancing and cooking. Most of my close friends happen to be musicians, and I am often happily harmonizing along with them. I'm often drawn to creative people who share a similar view on life, though I am happy to hear of a new perspective.
I truly enjoy meeting passionate people, whether their great love be quantum physics or pastry .

I love people, I always have. I find that I truly enjoy hearing about foreign philosophy and stories from humans of all walks of life. I tend to attract strange folks who long to tell me their life stories, especially when traveling. I certainly don't mind and it makes for fantastic writing material. :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Lighthouses don't go running all over the island looking for boats to save, they just stand there shining." -Anne Lamott

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago, I went out kayaking at night with the bio-luminescent plankton on Cortes island. Spectacular.
While traveling in Switzerland, my sister and I got horribly lost while trying to hike down the Gornergrat peak of the Matterhorn. Came across a large crab made of scrap metal in a Swiss power station. That's when you know you're really quite lost.
