ABOUT ME

Helen Keller said, " Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all." I always think of this when faced with a decision and try to pick the adventure instead of the fear of adventure.. I love my life, living in NYC, dancing,meeting friends, wandering around, cooking, or riding my bike! I think that learning a new language is the only way to really understand another group of people and I wish I had time to learn 10 more. I grew up in Ohio and Wisconsin, have lived in Boston, New York, Bologna, Siracusa, Padova, and Vermont. I love flea markets with endless rows of old and crazy finds and exploring new york for new and old things. If I'm out of the city, I'll be trying to get a dose of wilderness with hiking or camping..I love to travel and to collect inspiration from everywhere I go.

PHILOSOPHY

"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor."
"Love to Cook, Cook to Love"
