"You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place." -Miriam Adeney.
On the other hand, you also learn that home follows you. You might guess that I like to travel. To a fault? Oh well.

I practice a "live and let live" philosophy, and I do things my own way. I can see how I could come off as weird, but I assure you there's a method to my madness. And it makes me happy. That said, I'm traveling with my siamese cat? He's timid, but in general he's much more like a dog than a cat. Seriously, all my non-cat people like him.

"Nunca volverás a estar totalmente 'en casa', porque una parte de tu corazón siempre se quedará en otro sitio. Esto es el precio que tenés que pagar por amar y conocer a gente en más de un lugar." -Miriam Adeney.
Pero por otra parte, tambien aprendés que tu hogar te sigue a vos.

Soy una persona amigable y respetuosa. Me fascina conocer a gente. Deben saber que viajo con un gato siames... Es un amor, y más perro que gato.

Interests

Language, its nuances, and how it works. Zenness. Discovering the world in small pieces. Running. I love making art and finding other people's art- illustrated journals, photography, intaglio are some faves. Also unintentional or unnoticed art. I want to be a teacher, but I'm pretty sure I'll never learn enough to feel truly qualified for the job. But that's ok, I'm also pretty sure that if I knew "enough" I'd be missing the most important quality of a good teacher (the striving to always be a better one)!

Descubrir el mundo paso a paso, arte - incluso el arte accidental o desapercibido, explorar la naturaleza, idimoas, el zen, ir a correr, aprender siempre.
