CURRENT MISSION

to keep doing things i've never done before!

ABOUT ME

i love learning things - whether it's new words, food, cocktails, people, ideas, etc. i love challenging myself and being challenged. i can do the group thing, but i much prefer being able to really talk to someone. there are few things more energizing than a great conversation.

also, i am always hungry. :)

PHILOSOPHY

i think the world would be a better place if people listened more.

Music, Movies, and Books

there is too much music to list. right now, i'm listening to dutch, miss li, otros aires, the national, arctic monkeys, khaled, and on and on. i'm not a big film person (too close to what i do for work), but i LOVE books. all-time favorites include mahfouz's cairo trilogy, banana yoshimoto's kitchen, barbara kingsolver's animal vegetable miracle, anything by murakami, adhaf soueif's in the eye of the sun.
