I am an American woman interested in global travel & global awareness.

I want to see the world and learn from people everywhere. I want travel to different places, not for the tourist locations, but for the local cuisine, lifestyle, and entertainmen​t. I want to experience different cultures as a native would practice them.

I am a forward thinker, goal-attaine​r, and creative soul with harnessed ambition the size of the globe.

I am an artist: a photographer​, a painter, a writer, a ceramics sculptor, a designer. I am an imaginator, creator, magic maker.

I believe that if I believe I can, I can do anything.

I like having intellectual​ conversation​s about countless topics. If with the right person, I even enjoy controversy and heated discussions about politics and the economy.

I would love to learn about any person, any place, any culture. If you're interested in talking to me, I'm interested in listening.

With that being said, I am quite particularly​ interested learning about

I have been an active English editor for several years now.

I would like to learn more French (high school education level). And I would like to learn Spanish to broaden my abilities.

I recently went on an East-Coast, USA road trip. My best friend and I traveled up the coast to New Hampshire. It's a beautiful drive and definitely a bonding tradition.

I'm currently trying to plan a cruise, but I can't settle on a destination.​ I'm completely overjoyed to be able to go anywhere; this makes it impossible to decide.

I like to collect postcards and also trinkets and collectibles​ specific to a place. When I travel, I try to buy one piece of jewelry from my destination so that when I'm older, with children of my own, I will be able to pass them a collection of jewelry that's been gathered from all over the world.

I enjoy going to the gym. I joined one for the first time at the beginning of the year and I'm hooked. It makes me happy.

I'm interested in learning more Spanish and more French. I took two years of French in high school, but haven't used it since then.

I enjoy road-trippin​g. Being in my car is one of the most therapeutic activities I can think of.

I love my pets. I have two dogs, one cat, and one ferrets. I'd be a completely different human being without them.

Attending concerts is my all-time favorite pass-time. There's no other form of exercise and enjoyment than rocking out to some killer live music with hundreds of people who are just as happy to be there as you are.

I recently discovered the art of natural mediation. I found a place overlooking a fresh body of water in the National Forest where I live. I've lived there all my life and, while I've always know this one cove existed, I never quite appreciated it's value until recently. It's beautiful; now I take a hike through the forest several times a week just to relax and mediate in the natural beauty of the world in which I live. Every time I walk away from that place, I walk away happier than when I came.

Music is the universal language.

Anything comedic. Some suspenseful.​ Not much for horror/gore.​ Anything satirical. Almost anything dramatic. I like movies, but rarely get the time to watch them; I'd much rather be outside.

Grey's Anatomy & LOST

I love reading, but hardly get around to doing it. Currently I've got bookmarks in <u>No Country for Old Men</u>​, <u>Sex​, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs</u>​, and <u>Blu​e Highways</u>​. All of which are excellent reads. I suggest all three very highly.
