Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"As Kurt Vonnegut wrote, “Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God.' Go Dancing!!"
ABOUT ME
I love traveling, reading, and learning, and being a teacher and traveling the world lets me do all three! My favorite thing to do in each city I travel to is find vintage and pawn shops- I have a slight obsession with hats of all kind, most especially 1920s-40s era. Nothing is better than a night full of good music, good food, and good company... and maybe some dancing! I'm a huge sports fan and enjoy meeting new people. I miss home and the fabulous people there, but absolutely love new things and change!!
PHILOSOPHY
"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page." - St. Augustine
"If I have a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes.” – Erasmus
