One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

HA!

I unwittingly did an intense night hike in/outside of Fortaleza, Brasil... in complete silence, barefoot in a Brazilian bikini over mud & mangrove roots, across a river up to my neck, over sanddunes and down them on my stomach...crazy times!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a decent amount about race relations/construction of race in the Americas and I love to learn more.

I can teach you to whip up a delicious cocktail or a pitcher of sangria.

I know a good deal about Kiva.org; I can answer many FAQ!
