CURRENT MISSION

To build a little spiderweb of friendships criss-crossing the world.

ABOUT ME

I like listening and I smile a lot, I love hugs and vegetables. I have been a drama teacher, camp counsellor, English teacher and volunteer at an orphanage - kids are a big part of my life. I want to be a masseuse (probably), I adore animals, and I follow my intuition more often than I use common sense. I don't currently have a house much less a couch, but someday when I have both you are welcome to use them. For now, may I use yours?

PHILOSOPHY

Don't make too many plans (because plans so often go awry), but keep commitments that you've made.
