About Me

Check out My Flickr and feel free to upgrade my account ;)
I take a lot of pictures... and yes, all of the picts you see on here are mine.
I absolutely love to travel. I appreciate everything different from what I'm used to. I'm independent to a fault. I prefer to travel alone and will think nothing of taking a trip by myself to get away... even when it puts me in the red. I move fast and dislike having to wait for anyone. I like to think of myself as spontaneous, but mainly I just do what I want. Some may call me courageous, but I'm just stubborn and relentless. I live in fear of hitting a plateau from not learning or progressing. I challenge myself constantly to combat this. I have no sympathy for those who don't do anything for themselves but sit and complain about it.

My Interests

travel, adventure, health & fitness,
I love to explore and discover.I get bored easily and have a chronic need for constant change... of food, hobbies, people, scenes, music, interests, etc.I don't plan on settling anytime soon.)..*@
Drop me a note, a funny news article, fashion magazines, a club ad postcard, taco mix, a mixed mp3 cd, hate mail, stalker mail, CORNBREAD MIX, Fashion Mags, Star Headlines, MIXED MP3 CDs, whatever. Tell me if I'm missing a new candy or a new diet. What's the new fad? What's going on in the US? Be creative. Make me laugh.

You guys are all lame for never sending me shit. You could have at least given me some Star headlines as comments or something.

I'd like to meet:

People eager to explore and go on an adventure... in your own neighborhood.

Music:

Mylo

Books:

On the Road, any book by Murakami - The Windup Bird Chronicles was my fave, Hiroshima, White Oleander, Chuck Palahniuk, Ayn Rand, Ray Bradbury....
