CURRENT MISSION

Let the world be our teacher, to grow and to learn from other cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a proud mother of a 3 year old girl, who takes up most of my time and is my best-friend. I love to travel and meet new people as does my "mini me". I'm a photographer and love documenting street life, reportage style. I'm always up for an adventure but now it's a little more G rated. I have a pretty good sense of humor, no problem laughing at myself, very open-minded in regards to politics, religion, lifestyle and current events.
I love the concept of this community, I have always enjoyed traveling & now have the opportunity to explore Europe with my daughter. I've always enjoyed trekking off the beaten path, and am more interested in the experience of a city & culture than the tourist destinations. I hope to learn more about the life of the hosts & converse about how are lives are similar or different. The diverse the better!
Now for Lili, as I tell everyone she is 3 going on 30. She's my only child, has wicked imagination and REALLY enjoys the company of children and cool adults. She's really a great travel companion, funny, a sweetheart and has an interesting outlook of the world.
Hubby: unfortunately he will not be with us for most of our trip due to work. He's a cool, mellow southern man. And have been told on many occasions, looks like Brad Pitt.
