About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT ME

It's a little hard to describe oneself, the best way to find out about me is to hang out and form an opinion on your own. One thing I will say is I love an adventure, and love to have fun. Whether that be traveling or just hanging out with friends at home. I am a huge Lucille Ball fan and I love watching old I Love Lucy episodes. Even though I've seen every episode, I can still watch them over and over again, they always crack me up!

PHILOSOPHY

Live life without regrets and enjoy all life has to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favorite movies is Braveheart, but I love all kinds of movies. Some other favorites are the Kill Bill series, The Notebook, The Wedding Singer and Casino. I'm a huge fan of 80's music, I love it!!! But I pretty much like most music from Rock en Espanol to Reggae, however I just can't get into country music. Sorry, I'm just not a fan at all! I love to read when I have the time and I'm a big fan of Anne Rice, Dan Brown, Charlene Harries and Daniel Silva but also will admit I'm a huge Stephanie Myers fan as well. But the classics from Alexandre Dumas are probably my favorite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I can't wait to do it again!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always trying to learn from others and hopefully teach others at the same time. I am open and honest and share my experiences and adventures with people and hope that they can learn from my mistakes and successes.
