CURRENT MISSION

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us. Or we find it not. --Ralph Waldo Emerson

ABOUT ME

My smile is obnoxiously big, I laugh at inappropriate times, I love to paint, I love art, music and dancing. Traveling makes me extremely happy, I want to see the world (with no iteneraries). Crushed ice takes me to my happy place. I have a fear of hotdogs. I hate wearing clothes and shoes, my toes dont like to be confined. I'm always singing a song in my head. I take a lot of photos. I think this world would be a better place with Jimmy Buffett running the show. I'm trying to travel to 30 countries by my 30th birthday, help me!

PHILOSOPHY

"If We Couldn't Laugh We Would All Go Insane" Jimmy Buffett

To Err is Human. To Arrr is Pirate!

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind" Dr. Seuss
