CURRENT MISSION

To not just look, but SEE

ABOUT ME

I am a person who loves being around people. My door is always open and at any given moment you can find a variety of people crowded around my kitchen table or relaxing in my living room.
I love the unique perspectives that different people bring to my life and am always looking for new brains to pick or new friends to share their story.
Might be the anthropologist in me but I can't get enough of new places and new cultures.
I'm an avid bookworm. I love to dance, cook, laugh, drink wine, check out some live music, sit in the sun and take long walks with no particular destination or real sense of direction.

PHILOSOPHY

I have lost a shocking number of people in the past couple of years and all of that has served to teach me to love and live in every moment. To be happy with what I have, grateful for the things I receive and to cherish the people who come into my life, however briefly that may be, and to learn from them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sunset off Oia in Santorini, Greece should be on everyone's bucket list.
Running in to, not one, but two different people that I knew while traveling in Ireland. Without any prior knowledge of the other being there. The world is smaller than you think sometimes...
