ABOUT ME

Wanderlust could be my middle name. I'm an editor by day but traveler in heart and spirit 24/7- and I wish my bank account would keep up!

I'm 37, smoke/drug free and drink infrequently. Enjoy museums, traipsing around cities and anything cultural-fairs, art walks, gallery openings, etc, etc.

Gym and run enthusiast, hiking, being outdoors, dancing

I LOVE dogs but am allergic to cats =(

PHILOSOPHY

"I feel about travel the way a happy new mother feels about her impossible, colicky, restless newborn baby- I just don't care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it's mine." ~Eat, Pray, Love
