I've always been a traveler from a very young age. If you ask 'Where are you from?' you'll always get the hesitation answer, because it's a sort of complicated answer. But, I did grow up in Colorado Springs, and I consider Portsmouth, New Hampshire, USA home.

Currently, I am an English teacher, but I am also an actor and singer. I am a little quirky, and take delight in the little things. I like to think that everything can lead to ADVENTURE! whether it's a small outing, or a large trip.

I am mindful, respectful, kind and honest. I am not a big party person, but it happens on occasion with the right people. I do not smoke, and I am a social drinker (but even that is rare).

Música, películas y libros

I'll admit it, I am a showtune junkie. But I know it's not everyone's thing, so I keep it to myself, unless invited to share. :)
I also like folk music, rock.... pretty much anything that catches my fancy. It is wide and varied the music that I like.

I love movies, so I'll just list a couple of my favorites.
The Great Escape
The Goonies
Indiana Jones
Star Wars
Wedding Singer
Dangerous Beauty

Books: I own more books than anything else. Here are a few favorites
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
Arrows of the Queen series by Mercedes Lackey
Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda
Aisling Grey Series by Katie MacAlister

Algo increíble que he hecho

I went to the Dinagsa festival in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental, Philippines.
The Dinagsa festival is a week long festival celebrating the patron of the city (the infant Jesus), and the indigenous peoples of the Philippines.
The day I went, there were 13 participating tribes and they were dancing in traditional dress, painted in black. The other thing that happened was Lamhitanay, where you roam the streets to smother paint on each other's faces. By the end of the day, my friend, whom I was traveling with, and I looked like blue smurfs. It was fun.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach you how to crochet and sing if you'd like.
