CURRENT MISSION

To shake things up in my life

ABOUT ME

I am friendly, and a bit silly at times. Shy at first meeting, but you might not know it. Chatty, open, with my own opinions and respect for those of others. Culturally curious, always. I can be funny in an... outrageous? sort of way if you know me well enough.

PHILOSOPHY

"The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea." Isak Dinesen / Karen von Blixen-Finecke
