About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore! Getting out of my box. Very fun!

ABOUT ME

positive, easy to talk to, slightly control-freakish but also pretty laid back, not-too-much-fuss, stubborn, open minded, curious person. Djeez, what can I say...
Let's go for coffee and we can figure this out.

PHILOSOPHY

Wish it dream it do it!
Do it all, risk a little, live a little.
I think getting out of your comfort zone by trying things you've never done or are even scared of is the best lesson you can ever teach your self. And keep your mind wide open.
Leap and the net will appear

I currently don't have a house, but I hope to be able to host again soon.

Music, Movies, and Books

Conversations with God, The Time Traveller's wife, Eat/Pray/Love, Into The Wild, Inglorious Bastards, Game of thrones, Incendies, Intouchables, The Wind That Shakes The Barley, Pans Labyrinth,

I can't even begin with music, but my taste is pretty much all over the place. Love festivals, folk. Depends on the mood I guess.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ice crumbling off Perito Moreno glacier was stunning, but there's too much greatness out there, I don't even know where to begin! But yeah, Ireland is pretty awesome, I have a little crush on that place. As is Canada. Man, there a some beautiful places out there.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make a flying swan in origami.
