ABOUT ME
I am open to doing anything and going anywhere most of the time, as I am easliy adaptable and compfortable in new situations. I can be shy at first, but it doesn't take long for me to settle into someone.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe in seeing the best in everything, as life is what you make it. I think I am happy because I want to be, never bored because I won't allow it. Anything can be funny, even when it appears otherwise on the surface...we are all just so absurd. Life is a crazy journey that I try to enjoy with every emotion in my bones.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been to an amazing music festival in Fez, Morocco and heard Ravi Shankar play his sitar. I also witnessed dozens of people communicating with God while Sufi Majestics chanted Surat (their bodies moved like mad and some even passed out). In Sri Lanka I saw a huge sea turtle give birth on the beach at midnite...beside several other new mothers. There were several new babies taking their first steps toward the ocean. I have many more details and stories to share in person, as I have a fair amount of traveling under my belt.
