CURRENT MISSION

to own less stuff and live more adventures...

ABOUT ME

55/SWF who has a bad case of "wanderlust" - I'm an outdoor girl, love to rock climb, backpack, camp, bike (road, mountain and motor), snow ski. I'll try anything once and if I like it, I'll do it again!!

PHILOSOPHY:

"There's still time to change the road you're on." - Jimmy Page, Robert Plant

"Don't you ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can't be exactly who you are." Lady Gaga

Everyone dies but not everyone lives.

"Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all." -- Helen Keller

"You don't stop playing because you grow old, you grow old because you stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw

"Until he extends the circle of his compassion to all living things, man will not himself find peace." - Albert Schweitzer

"If you're gonna to be a bear, might as well be a grizzly!" - Jamie Faber

"Imagination is more important than knowledge" - Albert Einstein
