South America

ABOUT ME

I'm a seeker; lover of knowledge and learning and personal growth. I thrive on adventure and spontaneity, and the journey that is life. I also like plants and green stuff. The kitchen is my favorite place in a house and cooking (and baking) one of my favorite activities. Small things delight me to no end and I love to laugh more than anything.

PHILOSOPHY

laugh
check brakes; bash on regardless.
