About Me

I'm an optimist, I like to flow and be flexible in lifes changing tides, I'm open and down to Earth, I'm honest and sincere, I don't do well with lying or liers. Fashion is fun, make-up excites me. Exploration of the far reaches of the world is something I would like to pursue in my life. I want to learn new languages and learn more Thai. I want to see what life is like with the natives of the rainforests of Brazil. I enjoy preparing and cooking exotic foods. Spices and coconut are my favorite base.
Farmers markets are where it's at, support local farmers! My favorite coffee drink is a Rasberry Machiatto and not the Starbucks kind (boo hissss), I'm talkin' an Organic espresso using, a "for-here" mug providing, local coffee shop kind. I am a bicycling enthusiast and i'm always up for a walk. Being in natural surroundings invigorates me. Hot springs are a passion. I am a human rights activist, I believe in a just world, where everyone is treated with respect despite race, sex, gender, color, religion, whatever. I have a draw to Humanitarian work. I hope to find a way to help people understand one another better. We cannot live healthy lives without the human connection. I hold hope for the future.
your an earth nymph! you love animals, and you feel
most comfortable around them. you are probably
a little shy around people, so some see you as
distant. your also very intelligent, and you

Mother Nature watches over you. You're wise and
observant. You have a keen sense of people and
are a dedicated worker. Your emotions can run
wild and you may at times be controlling.
Mother Nature is always there to protect you,
though. Like a mother, Mother Nature is always
holding your hand and will guide you through
life. She will help you through life's
obstacles. You may find yourself feeling
unusually comfortable in the presence of
nature.

down-to-earth, but you are very fun too. You
love the earth, and everything green and
natural. The environmental side of geography
probably entrances you, and you love learning
about plants and natural disasters. You are
very generous, and always think of others
before yourself.Element: Earth Colours: Greens, beige, browns, neutral shades Animal/Mythical being: Elf
