Something I read recently: there's a difference between being rich and leading a rich life. I'm always seeking to better myself, challenge myself, have diverse experiences, meet new people, and have fun while I'm at it in order to lead the richest life possible.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music taste ranges from jazz to indie pop to country (it can be good!). Books are too many; right now I'm reading Kurt Vonnegut's "Breakfast of Champions." Movies again too many, recent one I saw that I loved was Inside Out. One television show I'm really into right now is Orphan Black.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once jumped off a 40-ft cliff into the ocean...without really knowing how to swim. Not the wisest decision. I try to do this whenever I get the chance (never by myself just in case I need help), because it terrifies me and I think it's healthy to do things that terrify you every once in a while. =] I hope I get a bit better at swimming each time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach and share whatever I have and know. Always seeking to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food! Who doesn't love food? Also good conversation, wine, and hopefully new adventures.
