About Me

"We need not fear the expression of ideas, we do need to fear their suppression."- Harry S. Truman.
I'm a nomad. I want to learn how to sail, live part time on a boat, sailing around in the sun and spend time living in a log cabin. I love learning how the earth works, and being outside. I've recently turned a new leaf, into horticulture that is. I'm raising a sheep. I would love to learn more about gardening and I know a lot about food science. I love camping. I almost always fall asleep in car rides, or anywhere. I don't like flies or ants. I'm up for extreme sports, but deathly affraid of child birth. I want to learn portugese and italian next. I like walking in the grass, drinking juice, swiming in lakes, sandwiches and chicken picata. a lot. If you feel the same way about any of these things, I think we'll get along just fine. As of right now and my future.. I'm going pre-med.. so I can study homeopathic remedies... I'm a big believer..
A todos mis bonitos de intercambio.. les extrano bastante!.. han camibiado mi vida por siempre.. y conmigo siempre se quedan.. Pensando.. Roadtrip?
