CURRENT MISSION I am spending 2010 volunteering around the world while trying to raise ,000 for charity. It is my gap year/saturn returns/quarter-life crisis. I'm doing it on a zero budget, and need all the help I can get! ABOUT ME anything in nature is great . . . surfing, hiking, walking on the beach, growing food, dancing barefoot, swimming with dolphins. i get cold easily. mosquitoes love me. i'm a really good laugh-er, pretty good massage-er, and a great organizer. people can't believe how easily i bruise. i like cooking, especially with other people. i love reading, but i love good conversation with other people more. i am excited and scared to death about my round-the-world adventure. note: i'm sorry i cannot get verified. i'm logging into CS from a round-the-world trip and cannot access my mail in the states. feel free to look at my website www.trishapatton.com, my facebook/myspace,to validate who i am. PHILOSOPHY the purpose of my life is to be happy. it's important for me to play often, laugh often, and be optimistic always.
