Travelling in India, baby! See ya in the spring!

About Me

..
I grew up in Colorado. I went to school in Seattle. I travel a lot and it has completely changed my life twice out of the three significant lifetime changes I've experienced so far. I am a liberal and fully support peace, love, and happiness.. they are not outdated concepts. My brother is fighting for our country in this war I personally don't support, but I love him and realized how important family really is already... I really care about life as we've known it, and cutting down our American-style consumption. Please see my "interests", or talk to me about it if you'd like. And by the way, I know you forgot, but yes, I'm still in mourning.
Now: I'm traveling alone in South America following my parent's footsteps of thirty years ago. From Chile, to Argentina, Paraguay, Peru and Ecuador I'm off on a real adventure that isn't really planned in any concrete way. I don't even have a ticket home at the moment! So come join me and let's travel together for a while ...

My Interests

Lots, but most importantly : WE HAVE TO SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT!! Well, only if we like it how it is now. Earth can totally survive no matter what we do to her, so, the real question is do WE wanna stick around? And while we're here do we want mountains, forests, clean waters, blue skies, glaciers, etc. beautiful landscape, healthy children, and millions of other species aside from us and insects? I think the obvious answer is yes. So start making some changes. Please, for ALL.

I'd like to meet:

I'm not too picky about who I MEET in this world... But please realize we need to rid our country of the greedy, malicious people who are currently running it and ruining it. People, if we don't say no now, who WON'T take advantage of us in the future if we already allowed our president to? Face it, He lied. They lied. Many times. And we suffer. They don't. It is not just. IMPEACH!!!

As for Hillary of Obama, I'm a fan of both. Obama seems really exciting and quite genuine about "change" which is like and answer to our prayers. However, Hillary been through the rope with the republicans and she can take them! Obama may be chewed up and spit out, but Hillary knows what she's doing, she really does have experience and she's tough. As for Hillary-Hate, I don't endorse it and it's a media push, get over it. I'm pleased with both and hope who ever gets it chooses Edwards as a running mate!
