ABOUT ME

Loves to travel and learn about new people, but is also a major homebody. Loves reading and listening to most any kind of music (esp. jazz, ambient and classical). Enjoys a good book in the park. Achieves zen through running, swimming, biking, backpacking, and paragliding (once in my life).

PHILOSOPHY

"Peace is every step" (Thich Nhat Hanh)
