CURRENT MISSION

To step out of my comfort zone a little more each day

ABOUT ME

My life has revolved around domestic voluntary service for the past two years and I am about to settle into my first "big-girl" job. I am a quiet individual who enjoys the outdoors, a good book and a great cup of coffee. I've been told that I'm thoughtful, laid-back, open-minded and adaptable.

In the past, my life has revolved around my work and I would like to make a conscious effort to experience more of the world through travel and interaction with interesting people!

PHILOSOPHY

To find peace in all things.

音乐、电影和书籍

I listen to most music including showtunes, country, Japanese rock, folk, and everything in between. At the moment, I particularly enjoy Josh Ritter and Muse.

I am fascinated by well-produced and thought-provoking documentaries, though I'm also drawn to the occasional silver-screen-blockbuster-big-name-action-film. I try to stay away from romantic comedies/dramas.

I am currently in the middle of reading The People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn, Stephen King's The Stand, and Don Quixote. My interests shift frequently.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I had the opportunity to assist on a national disaster relief operation with the American Red Cross this past spring. I was lucky enough to meet a woman who had lost everything and still had the ability to joke about the fact that she had a veritable pine forest in her living room. My perspective on life has never been so clear.

教，学，和分享

I can teach you to knit and crochet and lead you through a 120-move form of Tai Chi Chuan.
