CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can, or at least (for now) what I can reach in two hours from my current location. : )

ABOUT ME

The more I see of the world, the more I realize there's so much more I want to see.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd like to think if we all just followed the Golden Rule everything should be pretty much ok. But then there are some masochists out there...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a literature major-- too many books to list. But let it be known that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan.

Favorite movie is still Pride & Prejudice (the 5-hour mini-series, not the one with Kiera Knightly!!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed to the top of la Soufriere volcano in Guadeloupe!

Teach, Learn, Share

English has different words for animals when they're alive and when they are your dinner (like "cow" and "beef") because after the French (Norman) invasion of England in 1066 the English-speakers would use the English words while butchering and cooking and the French words when serving dinner to their masters.
