ABOUT ME

My sister and I created our own Inca Trail and hiked it without water. I am an expert canoer, I can wiggle my ears, and greet you in Arabic. I know the power of a smile. I have pleaded innocent to a speeding ticket, maybe even twice. I laugh too loud. I rescue endangered gopher tortoises from busy roads, and get nosebleeds at inopportune moments. I have a great affinity for puns, but do not care for riddles. I walked at four months. I was a safety patrol in elementary school, and 8th grade class president. I have tossed a coin in the Trevi Fountain, but haven’t been back to Rome. I can milk a cow and sing in four languages. I love markets. I drank apple tea in Istanbul, mint tea in Tangier and sweet tea in Savannah. I have stuck my head in a gopher hole, my foot in my mouth and my arms out of Disney World rides. I have prevented tooth decay for children in Peru, won trivia contests on cruise ships and I prefer to walk barefooted.
