ABOUT ME

I'm pretty quiet, but fun to chill with...or so I am told. And I can be loud when I need to be. I am a massage therapist, ski instructor, and student of Herbalism. I majored in Latin American Studies in college and at the time wanted to live in Mexico forever. I love food. All kinds. But I tend to prefer local and organic and I don't eat meat every day. My current passion is making herbal salves, tinctures, elixirs, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite authors are Jaqueline Carey, Robin McKinley & Daniel Quinn...Also read all the Harry Potter books.

As far as Music I like anything I can dance to & I love Old Crow Medicine Show & Johnny Cash. I love seeing/hearing/dancing to live music and in general if there is a banjo or fiddle in the band I'm bound to like it.

I like movies that aren't too scary & have happy endings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-When I was 18, in South Africa some baboons stole my lunch.
-When I was a kid I backpacked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up.
-Recently while hiking in Shenandoah Nat. Park a large barred owl swooped over my head so close that I ducked.
