ABOUT ME

I'm interested in people...learning about their cultures, languages, religions, lifestyles and the world-through first-hand experiences. I've been told that I'm efficient, thoughtful and accommodating. I love love love coffee and enjoy company, conversation and trying and learning new things. Some things that I like to do are go for long walks outdoors, attend festivals, fairs and celebrations, hang out with my friends and family, listen to new music, watch movies ...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to always treat others as I'd like to be treated, without passing judgment.This is one of my favorite quotes (at the moment anyway)...“A problem is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway to life.” - Celia Luce
