ABOUT ME
Hello,

I am a California native and recent college graduate who has been living in lovely San Francisco on and off for 6 years. I love to travel, and I spent a year studying and living in Amsterdam, and traveling throughout Europe. A favorite quote of mine seems to get it right:

"We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls." - Anais Nin

I love Vietnamese food, and pretty much any new food that I can experience and add to my lengthy list of favorites, great wine (usually any French Pinot Noir), female fiction writers, surrealism, impressionism- most art, in fact, especially if I can access the history behind it. I mostly spend my time going to local shows, eating too much, bike riding, hanging out with dogs and the occasional super cool cat, surfing, painting, and meeting new friends and travelers around the world!

I like to travel cheaply, and with a nice mix of local and tourist sights and sounds. I try to let the experience, place, and the people guide me, rather than setting a strict itinerary.

:)
