About Me

CURRENT MISSION

preparing for my wine/bicycling adventure in the Alsace region of France.

ABOUT ME

i am a connoisseur of good times not a conjurer of cheap tricks

i am quite shy but do not take it has standoffish, i enjoy everyones company. If you are a talker who wants a listener or someone who stimulates conversation, although not necessarily by adding in my own two cents but by asking lots of questions, then we will get along swimmingly.

i am open-minded and very laid back. always up for a good time.

i can have the same amount of fun dancing all night as i can sipping a cup of tea while watching a good movie

PHILOSOPHY

my philospphy is forever changing but what i most often turn back to is to not stress out about making the big decisions, celebrate and appreciate the fact that i have so many options and opportunities offered to me :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

in potossi, bolivia i did a tour of one of the silver mines. it was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life being under the ground crawling through small tunnels and holding a piece of lit dynamite was the icing on the cake

i also witnessed two lovers silhouetted on a cliff on the gorge at sasquatch while the decemeberists belted out ballads. it was a life affirming moment.
