CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world meeting new people, experiencing new cultures all with an open mind, heart and eyes.

ABOUT ME

I am a work-in-progress... still young and trying to learn and create myself. Easy going, open minded, down to earth person. I’ve had an itch for traveling since I was 18 when I packed up from high school and moved out West – was supposed to be gone 3 months and returned home two years later. I tend to laugh at myself a lot, because life is way more fun when you don’t take it or yourself too seriously.
I come from a large family and am very close to my family and friends. I love trying new things, laughing, cider, the sky, pizza and big dogs. I work hard to play harder – my philosophy: I can sleep when I’m dead. I don’t really know what else to say because it is hard talking about myself on the spot like this..
I like fun things.

PHILOSOPHY

Walk in the rain, jump in mud puddles, collect rocks, smell flowers, blow bubbles, stop along the way, build sandcastles, say hello to everyone, go barefoot, go on adventures, act silly, fly kites, have a merry heart, talk with animals, sing in the shower, read children's books, take bubble baths, get new sandals, dance, laugh and cry for the health of it, wonder and wander around, feel happy and precious and innocent, feel scared, feel sad, feel mad, give up worry and guilt and shame, say yes, say no, say the magic words, ask lots of questions, ride bicycles, draw and paint, see things differently, fall down and get up again, look at the sky, watch the sun rise and sun set, watch clouds and name their shapes, watch the moon and stars come out, trust the universe, stay up late, climb trees, daydream, do nothing and do it very well, learn new stuff, be excited about everything, enjoy having a body, listen to music, find out how things work, make up new rules, tell stories, save the world, make friends with the other kids on the block, and do anything else that brings more happiness, celebration, health, love, joy, creativity, pleasure, abundance, grace, self-esteem, courage, balance, spontaneity, passion, beauty, peace, relaxation, communication and life energy to all living beings on this planet.

Live.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since my travels began in August I have read:
The Kite Runner
A thousand splendid Suns
Something Borrowed
The girl in the Photograph
What the Buddha Taught

At home a few favorites were:
Kitchen Confidential:Adventures of the Culinary Underbelly
Most books by Chuck Palahniuk (Fight Club)

Don't watch a lot of movies and when I do they are mostly documentaries but i'd have to say some favorites are: Shrek, City of God, The Departed .. ?

Music is my vice - I am open to every genre of music - I can go from country to jazz to hip hop and acoustic then to rock and punk ... I absolutely cannot go a day without music - there is a song for every mood, moment and memory.

Teach, Learn, Share

Never stop learning.
