About Me

I love weather. And traveling. I have lived in London and Australia. I'd like to try living in Japan as well. I have yearnings to speak different languages but not enough patience to go through with it. I am writing a book. I have several started, but I am trying to stick with one at the moment. I usually don't follow through with things.
