CURRENT MISSION

I want to constantly learn, connect with new people, and improve who I am and live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I am interested in many things and passionate about life and learning. My recent interests are blues dancing, swing dancing, longboarding, and learning new songs on piano and singing. But I bounce between wanting to learn languages, reading various books, psychology in general, positive psychology specifically, philosophy, theatre, hiking, traveling, crocheting, and I really love to connect with and learn about people and their experiences. I love Rainbow Gatherings and go every year! I like to maintain variety in life. I love playing card games or any game. I enjoy long hugs, laughing, children, old people, and I suppose the in-betweens ;) I really like a good conversation. Above all, I love my tennis shoes. Haha. But really, they're pretty nifty. I just love life and people and everything! :)

PHILOSOPHY

Never stop pushing: always push to be healthy and learn and love and find new experiences and enjoy every moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking to Mexico and sleeping under the stars every night for the first leg of the trip, knowing almost no Spanish and meeting a 65 year old energy ball on the bus who I traveled to the Mayan ruins with and who brought me back to her home in Chiapas! It was such a fantastic first big traveling experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to crochet, a bit of German, how to make an origami flower. I know quite a few places to have an amazing time in New Mexico, and would love to show you if you visit one day. I also know my ABC's, basic math, reading and writing: so I'm essentially a genius. And hilarious. ;)

I could cook for you, love conversation, and can play a mean hand of cards!
