ABOUT ME

Basically, I'm a free spirit... and I know that I am not in a rush to get to some imaginary finish line. I want to take time to smell the flowers and feel the rain.

Anyway, a couple years ago I was working and studying abroad in West Africa. Then, I decided to ... work for AmeriCorps did construction work with Habitat for Humanity in Biloxi, Mississippi, in New Orleans I began cooking for 900+ people at a Volunteer Camp at 4 am everyday. In SC, I worked with kids over 100 hrs/week, and in South FL, I installed hurricane shutters for low income families. It's cliche, but it changed my life and now I'm looking for something just as rewarding.

I love being spontaneous and I'm very independent. I'm compassionate, sweet, funny and sarcastic all at the same time...and sometimes the newspaper makes me cry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Booked a last minute trip to the Virgin Islands to sail bareboat through the islands. My crew mates were a 60-year old man and 89-year old man. One night at anchor, I hoped off the stern to swim with surprise bioluminescence.
