CURRENT MISSION

Make a tiny bit of money go a long way! And to eat everything in the process.

ABOUT ME

The littlest things blow my mind.

I love ideas. I love discussing them. Around trust-worthy company, I can truly let go and open myself up to experiences. I tend to be somewhat cautious otherwise. I operate based on my intuition - I am very in tune with it and it leads me where I need to be and go.

I am thoughtful and reflective, and am continually working on bringing myself out of my shell. Traveling is the main thing that has helped me with this thus far. In so many ways, I feel like a baby in this world, like over the past year and a half, my life has truly begun. And I couldn't be more ecstatic about it.

I might strike some as "serious" initially but this is only one side of me! I am often told by people I am the "weirdest" person they know...basically I am goofy to the nth degree.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's have fun, mmkay?

**

I believe in happiness. I believe in living in the moment whether you are off on a crazy adventure or on a regular day in your hometown. I am at a point where I have no major responsibilities, nothing to tie me down. I want to take advantage of this as much as I possibly can. I think the root of everything is loving yourself, sharing your life, love and experience with others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The ruins in Tikal, Guatemala. No one else was around. My sister and I trapsed around, climbed on everything. It was amazing.

Swimming through a cave, one-handed, while holding a candle , climbing up a cave waterfall in almost pitch dark, etc. wasn't so shabby either!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe the human soul is the window to endless opportunity. We can choose each minute to form who we are, where we are, and where we want to be.

I'm in the process of re-vamping my diet to reflect a more whole foods, Macrobiotic way of eating. However, if this doesn't mesh with you, no worries, between my roommate and I we probably have food to fit most people, unless you're big meat eaters :)
