I'm positive, well-traveled, curious, musical, playful and generally enthusiastic. I'm good company! I'm from Northern California, but have lived in Europe a few times. I'm genuine, respectful and sincere and I love meeting new people from different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

“Regularly remind yourself that your purpose on earth is to enlarge your soul, light up your brain, and liberate your spirit.” (I don’t know who said that, but I agree!)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I lived and studied in Aix-en-Provence for one year studying French. I spoke hardly any French when I arrived, and all the instruction, exams, etc. were in French. At the end, I could converse freely in French. It was probably one of the most amazing years of my life.
