I am here for Dating, Friends and Networking

About Me

Love traveling, current events, volunteering, international events, snack foods (love the cheesy poofs and slim jims, for real!) experiencing new cultures and meeting new people, traveling in Latin America, writing, my dog, friends, the outdoors or being cozy indoors, watching movies, listening to all kinds of music, singing out loud...and my latest love, my beautiful acoustic guitar

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Nelson Mandela, Maya Angelou...and a partner in crime!

Heroes:

Those who unselfishly give of themselves seeking nothing in return, like the wonderful legions of volunteers I met in New Orleans!
