Biography

if you really want to know...

photos and stories of my travels (a work in progress)

a dreamer, a wander, a lover....

i am a woman of intensity and passion.. in many ways i am sensitive and idealistic, i want the world to exist the way i dream it, and it breaks my heart when i encounter people who are negative, mean-spirited or hateful... a true aquarius at heart, i act on intuition and empathy most of the time... my biggest pet peeves are ignorance and discrimination...

i'm learning more and more to be impulsive and follow my dreams, which for right now means traveling and playing around with photography.. i'm also a *huge* fan of snowboarding and scuba diving, and try to do as much of both those things as i can... but who's to say what that will be tomorrow..

i'm strong, stubborn, independent, loud, silly, and a little bit crazy... few can keep up with me, but those who can win a place in my heart forever :)

to understand me you have to understand the nature of a traveler.. life is short, you need to learn to live in the moment and follow your dreams where they may take you.. there is no time like right now, who says we all need to follow the graduate college, start a career, get married, buy a house, have kids, grow old, and die path... i'd much rather live and let the rest fall into place when and where it may... that said, i recognize the importance of taking care of responsibilities and making sacrifices in order to achieve your goals and dreams...

Interests

Entertainment: well, duh, traveling, but i also love scuba diving, snowboarding, photography, wine tasting, reading, seeing a good movie, catching up with old friends and getting to know new ones.. there was a time when i was one of the wildest party girls out there, but now i prefer sometime a little more tame, though i still stay out all night dancing once in a while!
Music: I like a little bit of everything, from hardcore techno to pop or alternative, 2-step, indie rock, even a little bit of country... what i'm into at any given moment has more to do with time, place, and mood than anything else.. i'm always open to new suggestions :)
Books: i love to read stories... i wish i could say i am into all the non-fiction intellectual works out there because i know that's what you are supposed to say to impress people, but really, i'd rather read a good story, weather its fiction or true to life...
Movies: requiem for a dream, lost in translation, garden state, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, cloak & dager, boogie nights, fight club, dirty dancing, labrynth, the dark crystal, battle royale, blow, pulp fiction, donnie darko, almost famous, momento, big fish, secretary, devil's advocate.. the list goes on and on.....
