CURRENT MISSION

to combine my love of travel, education & journalism into one neat package

ABOUT ME

ocean dweller who is always reading at least 5 books at once and is known to read the endings first. garlic lover who feels passionate about public education and does not like bigots or the banking industry. i am often thinking about colors, ways to continually work on myself and eating a loaf of delicious bread. i am a thrifty gal whose top three favorite activities all tie for the top spot: watching movies, dancing & swimming.

Music, Movies, and Books

currently taking me through the winter are ...
joan didion "slouching towards bethlehem"
radical educational theory
"the hunger games"

all of this is read to the sweet sounds of nick cave, lou reed, the lemonheads, otis redding, bruce springsteen, nina simone, karen dalton & sleater-kinney.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i recently visited utah (USA) this summer & i could not believe i was still in the united states. i never thought anything could top the islands on the west coast of ireland or new mexico (USA) but the natural beauty of utah has given ireland & new mexico a run for their collective money.

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to surf (on the ocean, not just on couches!), how to fix a flat tire on your bicycle, how to play the piano, how to make the most amazing hummus, how to crochet, & how to give a great high five every time.

i would love to learn how to play a new instrument, get better at my spanish, & feel grateful for anything you have to show or teach me that i did not know before!
