CURRENT MISSION

to build bridges, not walls!

ABOUT ME

I'm easily excited and always appreciate meeting people with unique ideas and challenging views. I consider everyone I meet a friend and treat them as such!

I travel with my husband, Robert Scott. Please apply almost all of these interests and philosophies to him and more! He's a musician, composer, electronics nerd and so much more.

PHILOSOPHY

'It takes strength to be gentle and kind'- The one nice thing that ever came out of Morrissey's mouth! But it's true... it takes way more effort to be a good person than to be grumpy, angry and uninspired.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiked from one end of France to the very Southern edge and to Castellon De La Plana, Spain in 12 days.. It restored my faith in humanity and my belief that most people are inherently kind and giving (given the right set of circumstances). It was a beautiful experience and we met some incredible people!
