About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To use the art of travel and change of place to spark vigor and imagination ... and to PARTY LIKE THE LOCALS!

ABOUT ME

She ...

Is on a journey. Worships natures. Dances barefoot. Likes to read. Is adventurous. Is inclined to travel. Recognizes the inadequacy of language to describe the world and all of it's inhabitants. Loves people. Enjoys exploring altered states, but is not a substance abuser. Grooves  to music, of all shapes and sizes. Loves herself. Knows that money/material goods cannot create happiness. Refuses to rot in front of the television. Is independent. Lacks pretension. Is strong. Is open-minded, and more than willing to share with you everything I can.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you're not living on the edge, you're takin' up too much space!"

"We're human BEINGS, not human DOINGS."

"Strange travel suggestions are like dancing lessons from God." - Kurt Vonnegut
