About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is intercultural communication (my college major) to bring about understanding and peace in the world

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher, writer, and volunteer. I am an Americorps alumni, working with homeless women and I love to dance. I am young at heart and mind, hopefully body too and am over fifty. I try to travel even though my finances are low (see above occupation) I am spiritual and my guiding book is " The four agreements" I used to belong to "Servas" a similar ogranization where I hosted and was a traveler. I am peaceful, don't like conflict or drama of any kind. I can teach you to Salsa too. I was a dancer in my former life.

PHILOSOPHY

You get back what you give. If you are interested in others and treat people with respect, it comes back to you.
