About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wandering, and being my most authentic self.

ABOUT ME

Hi!

I have researched and planned itineraries for trips that failed to happen because of lack of time or funds or traveling partners. And then, I bit the bullet and embarked on a 5 week solo trip to Europe. A whirlwind of 11 cities in 7 countries. probably the best time of my life thus far. That was 5 years ago, and now I take a trip at least once a year.

I still research and plan trips all the time. I work overnight and there isn't much to do but dream of all the places I want to see. Imagining myself all over the world is how I pass the long boring hours at work.

See you out there!

Interests

Music- I love listening to music and hearing new music, but I don't like talking it to death, analyzing the style or the lyrics; just feeling the music. Concerts, live music? I'm totally in.

Expanding my mind- I like to read. I always have at least one (or 2!) books on the go!I like trivia, and random facts. I also like puzzles and mind games (but not in my friendships or romantic relationships!)

Connecting- I like learning about people hearing their stories, even if I don't know the people that they are talking about, provided the stories are at somewhat interesting. I also like to share things about myself with the people that I meet.
