About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore different cultures through cooking and eating.

ABOUT ME

I am interested in lots of different things; dance, music, art, current events, reading, sustainability - but my main love is food. I am always cooking, eating, or planing the next meal. I love to meet new people, do new things, and share experiences. I generally want to eat, drink, laugh, and have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Currently under development.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am interested in all sorts of music, from folk music to modern indie bands, opera and classical guitar. I read constantly - some of my favorite books include In Search of Lost Time (Marcel Proust), Alice in Wonderland, Even Cowboys Get the Blues, 2666, etc. I enjoy watching movies, but would not consider myself a movie buff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Galloping through the foothills of the French Alps.
Watching the sky explode with fireworks in Amsterdam on New Years Eve.
