About Me

I am an American living abroad in the uk...weird to say the least I know. I am interested in everything...mountain biking, the outdoors, music (writing and playing) theatre, languages, movies, literature, medicine, psychology, history...the works. I am an NPR geek, love This American Life. I wanna be an actor, can speak Irish, and some French. I play the Hammered Dulcimer and blues guitar, and compose classical music sometimes. I either like to, or am compelled, to travel in my life...anyway I do. Although I like my home.
