ABOUT ME
Born in Denver,traveled a bit in Europe, lived a year and a half in Buenos Aires, back in Denver living with my boyfriend, working in a community health center. I try to speak Spanish when I can (somehow they always understand me no matter how much I manage to mess it up).
I love being around people, learning, learning, experiencing and staying active. I'm curious about pretty much anything I can get my mind on.

Music, Movies, and Books
Vonnegut's "Galapagos" -all time favorite
Junot Diaz "The Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao"- amazing
Music- Well, I used to be more punk rock but now lately I typically stick to indie rock, ranging from Animal Collective, to Elliott Smith, to Arcade Fire, to Sigur Ros.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I had a real nice time on Match.com Argentina.
Lucha Libre in Mexico is pretty amazing.
One time a tornado trapped Sigur Ros and me in an opera house basement.
Teach, Learn, Share
I enjoy learning about a range of social issues, urban dynamics, history... basic expressions of the human experience!
I also really appreciate learning from those who come from a different national/ cultural background than myself.
