Enjoyable morning routines, consuming culture, concerts, Spanish language, beads craft, meditation, long walks, aimlessly wandering, crowd watching, crescent moons, mojito parties, reading & blogging, daydreaming about future travels, interacting with strangers, absorbing sun & reflecting joy - not necessarily in that order

Welcome to MySpace ;)
