Not to miss a moment...

ABOUT ME

I like to write, sing, dance, laugh, play, explore, learn, teach, observe the world, create art, be inspired by art, do yoga, hike in the woods, photograph beauty and hilarity, do qi gong, discover...

I am from the East and West Coast of the US...have spent half my life in California, and half in New Hampshire...with sabbaticals abroad here and there...living in Budapest on a Fulbright teacher exchange this year...trying to see the world and create more funny stories as I go...

I am currently writing a book of short stories, a musical, and trying to create a photography book during my year abroad, so all creative inspirations are welcome. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking to the top of an inactive volcano in Stromboli, Italy at sunset to look down into the active volcanic crater erupting into the darkness of the night below...Dreamland, Bali...Lightning storms while watching a volcano erupt in Costa Rica from a natural hot spring at night...lightning storms in the pouring rain in the El Salvador jungle and from the top of New York City skyscrapers...I guess lava and lightning spark my Aries fire...
