About Me

All my life i've moved around, and now that i'm older i will continue to travel and see as much of the world as i possibly can. Traveling is a major passion of mine and i try to do it as often as possible. I'm big into nature as well: kayaking, canoeing, swimming, hiking, camping, etc. Any adventure comes my way and i jump on the chance to experience it. Life is all about transitions, change, learning, adapting and growing as a person. I have experienced a lot, and all of it has made me stronger. I still continue to learn new things about life everyday and it's exciting. I'm a very open-minded person and i try to see things from all angles. I would think of myself as a very kind-hearted person that shares a lot of the joys in my life with the good, close friends i've surrounded myself with. I like to go out every now and then and break it down and have some fun, or just go out on the town. I love to dance, but what girl doesn't? These are just a few of the joys and insights into who i am.

My Interests

What interests me most is life itself and everything that we go through. I love to analyze things and get a well-rounded view on all of it. I enjoy traveling the most. If i had my choice i would continue Salsa dancing, but it isn't offered where i live now. I love anything to do with water and nature. Ocean, lake, river...it doesn't matter. Swimming, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, just looking at it. Any type of water sports/activities. I like to stay very active in all things i do.

I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone, as long as they're cool to talk to

Music:

Pretty much anything. My favorite artist is Jack Johnson, and Coldplay really sets the mood sometimes, but I am really a lover all of types of music.

Movies:

Movies are awesome! My favorite movies include: The Count of Monte Cristo, The Island, The Notebook, The Big Bounce, and of course just about any comedy. Across the Universe is a great movie!!!

Television:

I don't really watch that much t.v. When i do it's normally MTV, Comedy Central, or whatever looks entertaining at the moment.

Books:

Joyce Meyer books, anything to do with life, love, and the persuit of happiness. Nicholas Sparks

Heroes:

Heroes to me are anyone who has ever risen above impossible circumstances, or people who strive to make this world better than what it is. The word "hero" is such a broad term..

On each given day we all try and do our best with the time that is given to us. However, we don't always make the soundest decisions nor do the right thing. Most of us have good hearts and mean well a...

Question No More

The hourglass has broken and scattered with pieces well defined. As I reach to pick them up I see they are clear as day and then vanish as if it was a dream. How did I get here? I wonder. Th...

Time

There is so much going on in my head that I'm just going to write and get some thoughts out there. I feel like the course of three weeks has been stretched over a year. I don't remember when this much...

Mind, Body, and Spirit

Everyone is on a quest to find out who they are. Some already know, some think they know, and others have no clue. I think to start the path of knowing thyself is to ask yourself questions about every...

moving forward

It's funny that many successful people will tell you that they've fallen flat on their faces before ever making it big. They will tell you that they failed several times before succeeding and that the...
