CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, broaden my mind and meet fun new people

ABOUT ME

I signed up a few years ago then didn't get involved with the community. Late last year, I decided to change my life and live my dreams. I hope to get chance to meet as many people and see as many places as possible. I love laughing, dancing, eating good food and having fantastic conversations. Maybe we'll get to do all of those things together.

Interests

Reading, hiking, dancing, drumming (djembe - still a beginner), good food and good company, laughing and dreaming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The one amazing I did was run a marathon in Dublin, Ireland on Halloween to raise money for AIDS Project Los Angeles. Salazars Forever!! People in Ireland were in costume on the route cheering us on. A guy played the theme to Rocky as we ran through the park. People cheering from the windows of their homes. I've officially fallen in love with Ireland. I hated to leave. I passed a temp agency walking along The River Liffey and wanted to stop. I thought "I could get a job and live in the hostel until I made enough to rent a place." Unfortunately, I didn't. My next trip to Ireland will have to be at least 2 weeks long if not a month. Update: last year I biked from San Francisco to Los Angeles for AIDS/LifeCycle.

Teach, Learn, Share

My mind is drawing a blank on what I'd be able to teach. I make pretty mac and cheese, and have learned to take risks so I can share those things with the community. I feel like I have so much to learn. My current personal learning project is to be proficient in the French language then I'll move on to Spanish, Italian, Hebrew and Arabic. I'll share with you my quote of the moment from John Morley, “You have not converted a man because you have silenced him.”
