About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the world, meet the people, eat the food, speak the languages, and keep a smile through it all.

ABOUT ME

________________________________
Hmmm...I am definitely a beginner at this life thing. I love to meet new people and learn different things. This world never ceases to fascinate me. I love to be spontaneous and experience everything to the fullest. My goal is to never really grow up. Blah, blah, blah... It's impossible to get an idea of me in these things, so if you feel inclinded, send me a message!

PHILOSOPHY

I am constantly searching for happiness, which is strange because I am the most happy person I know. I give all credit to God for my wonderful life, and love hearing about other peoples opinions and thoughts. Life is all about the relationships you have and the way you make other feel. If I have made one person on earth smile, my life is a success.

I have also recently learned that if you are unhappy with your life...just change it. There is no excuse for being miserable.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love spanish music, country, and bluegrass to an extreme but I like hip hop, rock and just about everything else!

I like comedy movies. I'm always down for a good flick.

I love to read. Anything non-fiction is good for me. I like to learn new languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow...On my last trip I watched Volcan Arenal erupt just as the sun was setting in the Costa Rican rainforest. It was amazing.

I also salsa danced with a complete stranger on a balcony in the rain in a cloud forest. That was pretty sweet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a mean spaghetti...unless you're italian, then I suppose you could teach me :) I really do love to cook.

I have tought many music lessons, and love to show others the piano, guitar, violin, etc.

I especially love helping others learn english.
