CURRENT MISSION

Sick of others telling me how wonderful the world is...it's my turn now.

ABOUT ME

I am a 33-year-old college professor of English, Speech, Creative Writing, Literature, Visual Language and Culture, and I am also a professional fire performer. I am an eco-friendly, open-minded, health conscious person who loves camping, hiking, gardening, yoga, costume design, fire performing, dinner parties with close friends, desert parties, meeting new people. You can see additional pictures of me and friends, posts, etc. on Facebook at: http://www.new.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1277370636&ref=profile or tribe.net and search under T~Rex.
Much LOVE!!!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies, reading, and listening to all types of music. My favorite music is glitch and dubstep. I am a sucker for a good jam session with tribal drums, flute (I play a little) and good people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have not traveled much but I also see and experience the most amazing elements of life from road tripping alone, hiking the desert trails, relaxing in Baja or just going to see a friend. I truly believe we invite people into our lives for a reason. All are teachers, lessons we learn and experiences we build. One amazing thing...too many to note. A cool one is of course Burning Man for the past couple of years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am really looking forward to engaging in social connection, memorable experiences, and friendly conversation. I want to really get into a culture by finding the hidden treasures. I am not a tourist of life but a student--there is a HUGE difference. I also want to provide this cultural experience to others. Take me where you'd go yourself not where you'd send some yuppie with a camera. ;) I'll do the same. I am committed to exploring your world, the way you live, to which I will always show respect.
