About Me

I will have been living in Thailand for 2 years and I absolutely love it. The laid back, fun lifestyle is perfectly condusive to the way I try to live my life every day. If you havent experienced Song Kran here yet in your life...be sure to do it! Right now, I dont go back to work until mid-May, so I am just enjoying life and living it up! Just got back from Jomtien Beach and a small island off of the coast. Also, next week, I will be going with a group of friends to "live" on the beach for a week on another small island off the coast of Thailand. LIFE IS GOOD! I enjoy spending time teaching, writing, meditating, working out, going to the beach and hanging out with my friends. I am always trying to find cool new stuff to do, especially if it involves outdoors, sports or travel.After 9 years of Fitness training and nutritional counseling and running my own business, I am now teaching high school english for a well known government school and writing. I am writing for a couple of magazines as I am working ..ing two books of my own, which have come a long way and am hoping to have done this year. (Ive been a bit lazy with them during this 2 and a half month holiday break)Ive met lots of great friends and have to say I party often. I dont ever want to regret living in a way was too serious and not fun. And, I have to say...Ive had no regrets. Bottom line is...I love life! For all of my friends and family back in the States, I do miss you and hope to be back for another visit soon!! Maybe October.I am sorry to my Cali friends for not stopping by to say hi my last trip back. I was in Vegas the whole time with my family for XMAS, New Years and Brians wedding. I had a great trip, but I wish I was able to see all my friends and former clients out in Cali, too. I've also got to get out to AZ too.I am always up to meeting new and fun people. I consider myself a fun person with a wide variety of friends. I am probably one of the least serious people you will meet. This does not mean I am a butterfly. (for all the non-Thais who dont know what this means...it means I do not have 100 different girls that I am playing :) Some people seem to assume if you like to go out and you are farang...you are a player. haha. well, I guess some are. OH...THIS JUST IN...NEW PET PEEVE....if you call me and leave 11 missed calls and 6 text messages within 6 hour time period while my phone is wrapped in plastic during the waterfights of Song Kran...consider yourself a wacko! Seek help. Im obviously busy. NUM KAHN MAHK! ROK JIT LER?? Oh...and dont wait for my call. :) whew! okay..got that off my chest. Thanks for listening everyone!! hahahahhaa

My Interests

Writing, working out, relaxing, anything outdoors, going out with my friends, meditation, the beach! I will be there just about every week over these next two months.I am looking for some people to start playing some basketball once in a while. Anyone interested?? I MISS IT!
