CURRENT MISSION

Learn...Learn...Learn

ABOUT ME

I am currently attending Portland State University. I moved here on September, 2008. So I am new and would love to meet people here who share my interests.
I love discovering the world. I enjoy good food (not weird animal parts though), learning about cultures and languages. I basically think people are good.
I enjoy painting, drawing, writing. I love music of many types: opera, some jazz, 80's, new age. I love dancing too, almost anything.
I consider myself easygoing and sometimes I have a sharp sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

Always learn new things and get interested in new things. There is so much out there to know, so many interesting ideas, thoughts, places....all to be discovered and enjoyed.

I love music, many times. Now I am enjoying female vocalist, like Kate Bush, Indigo Girls.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
