About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
I just got my BS in cultural anthropology from UCR. I will be living and teaching english in Madrid Spain for the next school year. I'm a lay back gal that loves to travel. Travel is my passion. I would spend the rest of my life traveling if I could. I also love to go out to the pub with my friends and have a guiness. I don't worry about what other people think of me. I am always myself no matter what the situation. I love acting silly with my roommate and singing along to whatever music is playing on her computer. I have a couple true friends that I would give my life for. It is because of these people that I feel truely lucky. View full size
Your Element Is Air
You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly.Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful.You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that! What's Your Element?
Your Inner European is Irish!
Sprited and boisterous!
You drink everyone under the table. Who's Your Inner European?
