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
