ABOUT ME

I am a pretty mellow girl. I am very open minded and love meeting new people. My two favorite things in the world are traveling and drinking wine on the front porch. And dark chocolate.
I think you should pursue every opportunity. Pursue interaction with every wonderful person you meet, and follow every experience available. The biggest things in my life has surprisingly come from pursuing a completely random encounter. I believe in people and have had some of my most incredible times with people I've just met. I think that every person you meet has the ability to alter your life in a sense, as long as you are open to the experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Action expresses priorities. -Gandhi

It is the mark of an educated mind to entertain a thought without accepting it. - Aristotle

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both." -Francoise Rene Auguste Chateaubriand

I think you should decide who you want to be, and go be it. Love on purpose and live with intention.

音乐、电影和书籍

I'm awful with movie/TV references because I don't watch much of either. However I will watch Parks and Recreation whenever I see it on because my father resembles Ron Swanson and it's hilarious. I like old movies. Some Like it Hot, and anything with Steve McQueen. Old italian cinema is always great to watch, along with anything that makes me laugh. I love music, especially live music...most beautiful thing in the world. My favorite music lately has been the sounds of The Black Keys, Cold War Kids and a local Texas band called Bird Dog. Anything blues rock...we'll get along fine.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

So many with travel! Coming to Europe, being hit by a huge summer storm in the middle of watching an outdoor ballet that let my best friend and I dance in the rain, seeing my brother for the first time after his work with the Marines, when I went to South Germany.
