Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel my little heart out!
ABOUT ME
I love football (soccer to us Yanks)! My passport is the most valuable thing I own. I do not enjoy talking on the phone. Hugs make the world go round. And I really like guacamole and dark, bitter chocolate...not together though. I laugh a lot - you've been warned.
PHILOSOPHY
"There's only one rule that I know of, babies — God damn it, you've got to be kind."
"You can have anything you want, but you can't have everything."
"Tell me what kind of food you eat and I will tell you who you are."
"All generalizations are false."
Interests
Learning, meeting new people, photography, writing, reading, football (soccer), trying new foods, drinking tea, cooking, singing and dancing - simultaneously if you're lucky, music, yoga, sailing
