About Me

Top 5 things about me.I love to cook I have a major case of the travel bug and will probably spend my entire life trying to "medicate" it. :P
4 European countries, 1 Asian, 1 African, a lot of the Caribbean, several US Cities, small parts of 3 provinces and counting. I'm a bit of a workoholic but at least have the presence of mind to give mysel f a break when I need it. See points 1 and 2. I laugh a ridiculously large amount I am both outgoing and shy. It really depends on the situation.
