About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm living in a new country where I barely speak the language and want to meet people who are like minded, who want to travel and see as much as they can and be as active in their surroundings as possible.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old who recently decided that her life needed a serious change and picked up her bags and moved to my favorite city that I have been to thus far. I live for live music and have a deep passion and appreciation for it, I love to be active playing sports or jumping out of a plane or off a cliff into water. I nearly always have my camera and love the idea of being able to capture images as I am living them. I like food and cuisine and love to cook and be creative, I'm just a laid back girl trying to enjoy my time the best I can and experience all I can, while trying to learn a language that continues to frustrate me on a daily basis :)

PHILOSOPHY

Dare to be different, its totally worth it

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? I couldn't possibly list it all here. Some people would say I like indie but then I would get defensive and show you all my music that isn't indie at all. I wear the same Miles Davis shirt I've had for 10 years and find it hard to cook without Cuban music on in the background. I am constantly being made fun of for not seeing enough movies and almost never understand when you "quote" movies because I haven't seen them. With that said, I am a total book dork and majored in English Literature and have a profound respect for the written word. I love to read and love to talk to people about books and their thoughts and ideas.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving over the Swiss Alps followed the next day by Canyon Jumping, Mt. Fuji and the Ginza district, the Cliffs of Moher on a clear day, all of Ireland in July,
Cadaques Spain and El Bulli in Roses. I could go on and on here....

Teach, Learn, Share

The English language for sure, I know there are a lot of people out there looking to learn it and I am looking for any sort of Spanish help and friends who can help me feel slightly Spanish :)
