I want to see the world and meet people from all walks of life

I want to explore and experience as much as I possibly can! I want to see things that take my breath away, that make me laugh, make me cry, make me think.. I'd love to meet diverse and interesting people who might add to my outlook in life.

I intend on traveling as much as I possibly can and hope to meet wonderful acquaintences along the way... Love great conversations about diverse topics and having good fun and excitement!

PHILOSOPHY~
I try to treat others how I'd like to be treated given whatever the circumstanced might be.

Love all sorts of music and have an eclectic taste.... from heavy metal, classic rock, folk rock, grunge, hip hop, trip hop

I have two dogs I adore...... crazy high-energy dogs.... love them like my own kids!

by Ken Follett; anything by Ken Follett, any accurate historical fiction - particularly WW2, Enders Game by OSC, Neuromancer by William Gibson, Rich Man/Poor Man by Irwin Shaw........

I love watching movies and some of my favorites include: As good as it gets, Good Will hunting, The princess bride, Stanley and Iris, the Secretary, anything with Deniro, Pacino, Matt Damon, Ed norton, Jude Law, Colin Firth...

If you love a short series with interesting characters, a favorite of mine is the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice.
