About Me

It feels strangely uncomfortable trying to sum myself up like this but I'll take a crack at it... I'm from The Big Island of Hawaii but moved to Sonoma, California when I was 7. I consider myself to be a true California girl though! I'm half dutch and half Vietnamese so it makes for a very random and unusual mix of being but that's how I like it--out of the ordinary. I just recently moved to San Francisco seeking a bit more culture and stimulation than Santa Barbara had to offer. I really did love it there but I got other businass to attend to elsewhere. I'm hoping to pursue a career in both Journalism and International Relations. I'm very ambitious and real. I have an intense passion for traveling the world and I want to devote my life to it. I am probably the most impatient person you'll ever meet and I can't say for sure if that's ever gonna change. Discretion is key (chances are you can figure out a lot more about a person by listening to them rather than talking). I have a hard time with routine...I feel like I could be doing a whole other new thing that I've never done before than doing the same thing day in and day out. VERY spontaneous! I would say I'm an excellent judge of character which makes me appear aloof and judgmental sometimes because I pretty much decide within the first few minutes of meeting someone if I ever want to talk to them again. I talk to strangers a lot because I try to have the outlook that everyone can enlighten me in some way or another. I notice that the people who I maintain lasting friendships with are the ones who aren't afraid to be silly and eccentric. Normal is BORING! I laugh at people who try too hard to fit in.I would like to spend a year or two living a simple life in an impoverished country because I think that it could teach me so much about life that growing up as an American has obscured from my perspective--in other words true happiness can be found without needing a product or brand name to make me feel content! I couldn't ask for a better group of friends and the dynamic among us is something I treasure greatly.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

My idol Christiane Amanpour! People with intelligence and depth, people who love animals, people who have opinions and aren't afraid to state them, people who are cultured and worldly, people who can be comfortable in silence, people who like to read and write, people who have great taste in music and movies, people who are ambitious and true to themselves.
