CURRENT MISSION

Basically, I want to be Auntie Mame.

ABOUT ME

Extremely laid back, a bit quiet at first but very easy to engage. Fascinated by people's life stories. Interested in most things, geology excluded. Jazz lover. I'll probably ask you what your favorite movie is.

I held a koala and fed it eucalyptus leaves while in Perth, Australia. Be jealous, it was wondrous.
