CURRENT MISSION

to build a lovely life

ABOUT ME

I just graduated with a degree in Women's and Gender Studies. After 22 years of living in the U.S., 16 of which were spent in school, I've decided that it's time that I set my life up in another country and start trying to learn something outside of classroom. So far I've learned that running keeps me happy and balanced, that fortunately most of my problems can be fixed with some time in the sun, and that I DO like coffee (provided it that it is mostly milk and sugar, with only a dash of actual coffee).

兴趣

I'm interested in new adventures, good food, all kinds of chocolate, hiking, music that you lose yourself in, kind people who do kind things, swimming outside, bright colors, gardens, soft blankets, bonfires, trail running, earl grey tea with cream and sugar, windows made from old glass, and anything else clean and good.

教，学，和分享

I don't know what I have to teach others right now. But I am curious about people's individual perspectives on what makes a home.
