Only stupid people ask stupid questions.

About Me

born in hawaii (can't you tell by how tan I am?). moved to alaska. got cold in alaska. moved to orange county. lived in orange county since 1982. Welcome to my life, I like to call it the giant bubble. Luckily my job allows me to escape 4 days a week. I love traveling anywhere/everywhere and experiencing the local cultures - especially the restaurants. ...dream job would be traveling for Condé Nast doing restaurant reviews.

My Interests

Traveling, eating any exotic food I can find, preferably while traveling (see interest ..1), trying to fit into the jeans that were loose on me last year (while traveling, refer to interest ..1), it's almost impossible to make me angry, so like-minded individuals would be a welcome addition to my friendship circle :) ...Did I mention I love to travel? Oops...I also like to cook, but sometimes you have to pry it out of me when I get lazy.
