I love laughter and good stories, people from different cultures and backgrounds, all things culinary, especially chocolate (baking and eating), all things music (especially jazz, r n b, and folk), all things outdoors, hiking, biking and rock climbing.
I'm all about social justice causes, helping others, particularly children and vulnerable communities.
Love drawing, ceramics, art museums, playing guitar, learning Swahili, reading a broad range of books, philosophical discussions and life in general. And, best of all, laughing with friends.
