About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I strive to do as much as possible in as little time as possible. but still remain a beach bum.

ABOUT ME

I am Gina. I like pineapples. I have the travelling bug (one L or two?) and I can't wait to leave where I am now to travel again. I live at home, go to college and work part-time, attend bellydance class which is very fun (you should try it). I like to speak French, joke around, go to the beach, listen to music and sew things. I have a wonderful,fun,kind, beautiful boyfriend. I have a cat named Razzmatazz (named him after a crayon). I have travelled a few places that I'm quite proud of having done before the age of 21 (see travels). I am a fun-loving, optimistic (for the most part) and nice person. I have a lot of things I want to do but never enough time or sometimes motivation to finish them. I find myself starting multiple projects at once and can't finish. Anything else? je ne sais pas.

PHILOSOPHY

Oh I have many! Life is too short. I love life. Life is the celebration. Life is nothing without music. "To speak two languages is to possess another soul". Oh wow i just have so much to say and so much to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

Take echinacea when you're sick. Minimize sugar consumption because you eat enough in a regular diet. Eat pineapples. Don't waste time. Always do your best because you will never look back with regrets.
