CURRENT MISSION Create a balanced and purpose-driven life that fulfills me and enriches the lives of those around me. ABOUT ME Intellectually curiosity. I love to learn and experience new things, and travel is one of the best ways I've found to do that. A dancer - particularly partner dancing. Primarily West Coast Swing, with experience in Salsa, Kizomba, and various others. I love to cook for others and share meals with them - it's always exciting for me to experience new flavors, and learn about other cultures through how they experience food. . PHILOSOPHY All experiences -good and bad- have value. They all contribute to the shape, color, and texture of life. Drink it all in.
