About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find like-minded wanderers, wild dancers, & adventure seekers...

ABOUT ME

Dancing makes me happy. Secretly, I want to be a back-up dancer on tour with a major rock and roll band. And I want to do music videos.

I hate taking showers. I take baths whenever possible and when not possible, I typically forego cleanliness entirely.

PHILOSOPHY

Dance like it hurts, love like you need the money, work when people are watching.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: On average I watch one movie a year. I have a hard time sitting still. This year I've seen two: Frozen and Interstellar.

Music: I normally listen to Latin or country music; don't judge me.

Books: I love books and will read anything I can get my hands on as long as it's not overly sappy or grotesque. In the last few months, I read: Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, The Art of Happiness by the Dalai Lama, The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho, and a book called Word Freak about the competitive world of Scrabble. Currently reading: Barefoot Heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once meditated for ten days. It is an experience I would recommend to anyone and everyone. I believe the world would be a profoundly better place if everyone would try this. It may, in fact, be the answer to world peace.

I've been back stage at New York fashion week. Heading for the catered food, I ruined a picture of Naomi Campbell.

I went sky diving in Hawaii. And I've been scuba diving in Honduras. Scuba was a bigger adrenaline rush for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn French.

I can help you with Spanish.

I want to know how to cook excellent things.

I can teach ballroom dance.

I have a renewed interest in learning to play the piano.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Memorable moments? Cookies? I'm sure we can work something out.
