Live your passion... PLAY. SHOP. TRAVEL.

About Me

Modeling for 8 years. Had a good run. Now moved on to other life pursuits... yep. The little girl is all grown up.
I’m a globetrotter… just crazy about traveling! Anywhere exotic, especially the tropical islands. I even own a travel booking site! Please check it out when planning your next trip! It's your one stop for all of your domestic and international travel needs... with awesome low fares and package deals. =D ================ www.TravelVitals.com ================
I fall under the Sagittarius / Capricorn cusp… but I'm definitely more Sag. Adventurous… always want to explore, go to new places, try new experiences, anything and everything! Also very introspective… a truth-seeker. I enjoy learning about life, expanding my knowledge, growing spiritually and mentally. I'm all about living life to the fullest, spontaneous fun, and acting on impulses. I get silly and dorky. I think out loud all the time… just being me! I love shopping… even for the simplest things at the grocery store. Always down for trying out new restaurants… from fine dining to the hole-in-the-wall. I just love good food. I’m a romantic idealist… I believe everything happens for a reason. I'm a passionate person… given the right chemistry of course. Family and friends mean the world to me. I love social fun and being in the spotlight, but alone time is equally appealing. I have a natural rapport with kids. They just love me… and I love the kiddos. I'm pretty intuitive... usually a good judge of character. I’ve been told by plenty people that I have a gift for giving good advice. Thanks… I really should practice what I preach. I used to hate the boring gym. But now my body craves all the physical activity... as long as I mix it up. Good ol' yoga, a little bit of strength training and a variety of classes. But nothing beats the adrenalin rush in the great outdoors - extreme sports during travel, snowboarding, surfing and hiking. Swimming and hot baths… being surrounded by water is so peaceful. I enjoy the finer things in life. I could get pretty high-maintenance… but I can provide for myself. I don’t rely on boys for anything. I’m extremely independent. I’m very confident and comfortable in my own skin. I’m honest and will speak my mind. I'm friendly but I have my walls up and it takes a while to let someone in. But once I let my guard down, I always give MY ALL. To the select people who get close enough to know the real me… they recognize that I am a happy soul with a genuine heart.

You Belong in Barcelona
When it comes to Europe, you don't want to decide between culture and fun. You want art by day and a big party by night.
Barcelona is ideal for you. You can check out some Picasso, eat some tapas, take a siesta, and then dance all night! What European City Do You Belong In?

"Women are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy.
The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing...

They just have to wait for the right person to come along,
the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree."
