Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world, do some archaeology, and learn.
ABOUT ME
I think I fit the description "Jack of all trades and master of none." quite well. I've studied a lot of different subjects in school and I pick up new skills fairly readily. I've never become an expert at any one thing, though I have a fondness for archaeology and it's related fields (humanities and sciences).
PHILOSOPHY
I want to see and do a bit of everything, but mostly i want to do archaeology whenever possible. I pack light and I'm pretty flexible regarding destination and mode of transport.

Geology (Vulcanology)
Biology (Physical Anthropology)
Humanities (Early Civilizations and Art History)

Music, Movies, and Books
I read almost non-stop. mostly sci-fi and fantasy, but a lot of non-fiction as well.
Movies i tend to stick to action films, with lots of sci-fi or fantasy. I avoid chick flicks and certain kinds of comedy. I don't mind a good horror movie, as long as it's got a high level of suspense and the gore isn't overdone. I also like documentaries, if they're well done.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I packed a couple of bags and for the first time ever traveled solo to England so I could participate in an archaeology training dig in York. I didn't even know if I liked traveling or archaeology and I thought the experience might completely suck, but it was awesome and I'm totally hooked.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach anything related to humanities and some of the basic sciences. also how to play harp and singing. I do have a background in martial arts. I am an excellent cook.
I especially want to learn.. a new language, how to dance, and anything you care to teach me. I'd liek to improve on my skiing and my ice skating.
