ABOUT ME

Hey I'm Karen and I'm living in the Bay Area. I love love love meeting new people and seeing new places. I'm spontaneous and love to try new things. I feel like we only live once, for ninety years if we're lucky so I better fit as much into this short life as I can. I consider my self to be a laid back, go with the flow type person. Qualities I value in myself and in others are : respect, kindness and most definitely a sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Whistle while you work.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of the best nights I've ever had was my first night in Madrid which happened to be my 23rd birthday. We met amazing wonderful people and danced the night away and then napped on the lawn of the Prado museum while we waited for the metro to open back up.

教，学，和分享

I can teach basic tennis skills although I'm no expert. Most of my knowledge is based off what I've learned working with mentally ill people and studying psychology so if you want to discuss symptoms you or someone you know might be depressed, addicted or mentally ill in any other capacity, I'm your girl :) I love psychology so I'd love to share conversations with others who are interested in this field.
