LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO FOLLOW THE SPEED LIMIT!

About Me

I love to live life. Am a caffeine addict, speed demon and fuzzbuster, shopping addict, movie junkie who devours books. I like to party and meet new and interesting people. Great conversation makes my day. I love travel and adventure, but I can spend hours just playing with my two adorable kitties and having movie marathons with my husband. I live for the next time I can drive over 150 miles an hour, or dive one of those WWII wrecks, or watch my own private sunset on a beautiful stretch of white sand.On Sept. 10th (my bday), TIESTO comes to Cleveland and Spotcleveland.com turns ONE!

My Interests

travel, watersports, cliffjumping, cats, coffee, sushi, movies, party, clubs, fashion, books, shoes (of course!), getting lost in a foreign land, speeding!, NPR, museum, poetry, camping, hiking, snorkeling, diving, trying to be good at extreme sports while overcoming my innumerable fears!
