CURRENT MISSION

Make voyages! — Attempt them! — there's nothing else…

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, traditions, attitudes, music, styles, and climates. I am an adventurous, openminded, outgoing, conversational, generally upbeat kind of girl. I can be sensitive and defensive, but I am introspective, quick forgiving, and loyal. * I am someone who cares about others, laughs easily, trusts, communicates, shares affection, is passionate, energetic, appreciates the good and the bad. I enjoy being in the company of people who can talk about life, love, and philosophy, can be deep, but also know when to be lighthearted. I enjoy the depth and diversity that people bring to my life. * Ultimately, my upbringing and experiences with my family, friends, and God are the core of my being. I think life is exciting and fascinating, tragic and perplexing, sorrowful and sweet. I am both intrigued and enamored by life!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity.Travel holds the magical possibility of reinvention: that you might find a place you love, to begin a new life and never go home.Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure. Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows me to survive, & better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, & style.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This is a tough one. I'm easily impressed!

Teach, Learn, Share

It's amazing how much you learn from other people. Sometimes I wish I was like a kid, a sponge, to remember everything that people teach me. I have a street journal. I write the important things down. : )
