ABOUT ME

I'm a story that's being written. I'm crazy. I try to find inner-peace but it's not always there. I love experiencing new things. I feel most comfortable when I'm wearing different shades of brown, and shades of dark purple. I even have purple hair. I speak three languages. I love anything creative. I love writing songs about random things, and my deep dark secrets. I love coffee. I love to live, and I love to love, but I'm terrified of it. I am a person who learns by doing. I'm human and it drives me crazy, but I try to make the best of it. I often think that I know what I want, and then several months later change my mind. I'm kinda shy at first, but I open up after a lil bit. what else can I say? talk to me sometime :)

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is always a work in progress. I believe that we should never stop asking questions. I also believe in self-reflection, and making an earnest effort to change when I find that I fall short. I also think that sometimes people think too much. I believe that sometimes the true meaning in something lies in the fact that it has no apparent meaning. Perhaps some things are just meant to be enjoyed instead of hacking our brains to figure it out. But I do enjoy a good though provoking conversation, book, or movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have caught a hammerhead shark while night fishing in the Bahamas.

I met hill tribes in northern Thailand. You know, the tribes whose women wear those golden rings around their necks that make their necks stretch.

Oops, that was two amazing things =)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to read, write, and speak Thai. I can also teach you how to make tasty Thai treats. If thai doesn't interest you, I can also teach you how to speak German.

I'm also a piano teacher, and a singer/songwriter. I'll teach you all sorts of cool chords and tricks on the piano =)
