About Me

I love music, luckily.... i lived in the "Live Music Capital of the World", Austin, Texas, which i miss dearly. I recently moved to the Caribbean, which is beautiful--but it's not Texas! I love the outdoors Swimming in the creek, hiking around the greenbelt, running around Town Lake, concerts in the park. Most recently: snorkling, boat trips to nearby islands, laying on the beach and exploring, drinking painkillers in the ocean, watching the Caribbean sunset over Puerto Rico, sailing. I like to have a great time no matter where i go. My passion is cooking. It's what i do best! My favorite thing in the whole world is to drink wine and cook for my friends.I have some great friends and an adorable sister who make my life so much fun and VERRRRRY interesting.

My Interests

I'm interested in great movies, great books, and great music. Isn't everybody? I like to watch documentaries and read bio-and autobiographies...guess i'm a little nosy. Not into watching reality TV or sports, (except for Boxing and Basketball). I cook, read about food, work as the Chef on a Charter Yacht in the Caribbean. I love to hike, drink rum on the beach, snorkle, swim, see live music, or lay in my hammock and read.

I'd like to meet:

People who are smart and funny...my two favorite things in a friend...besides loyalty! Some one who can have as much fun at home as they can downtown at a club. Some one who likes to eat great food in a restaurant or at my house. Some one who loves wine. A reader. Some one who loves tequila. Music-lovers. Outdoorsy types-water lovers. Some one who can tell me things that i don't know about...their travels, their family, their interests, their art, whatever it is they do.
