About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make friends from all corners of the world and to continue to broaden my horizons

ABOUT ME

I'm a young woman trying to find my place in this world. I'm a serious, introverted person on the surface, but I love getting to know people and connecting with them. My father is an airline pilot and so I have been able to travel to a great many places, which I feel has given me a broader perspective on our world. I love trying new foods, seeing historical and modern sites, and exploring the vibe of a new place. I have an older brother and sister who both live in Maryland and a younger brother who is in high school. My mother has had many jobs throughout her lifetime and my father is a pilot for United.

I'm engaged to a wonderful woman who is my best friend first and foremost, who makes me laugh and feel happy.*

*We're a GAY female couple. I've had problems with some people not realizing this. We are two women in a romantic relationship

PHILOSOPHY

Never accept ordinary. "We must love each other or die."
