My Interests
I love birds (I am a birdwatcher), although preety much all wildlife is fascinaring for me. I have done theater since I was 4 years old and been involved with arts since then. I love good music and going to concerts. I worked at a world music venue as a promoter and bartender. And I LOVED IT!
