ABOUT ME

Quit my job in publishing and am traveling about Europe at the moment -- swinging from one beautiful place to the next.

Illinoiseeee! Grew up in Lakeview, Chicago, lived in the suburbs, schooled in Champaign-Urbana. Michgan is my second home, and also the long term residence of my other half-- my kayak. Lived in London and Alaska for a bit, have traveled extensively around the U.S. and am trying to do so around Europe.

My mood ring comes in shades of very easy going and friendly.
