About Me

I'm currently a junior at the prestigious evergreen state college... I in SPAIN for the spring studying at a language school and traveling around europe. When i was eight i was savagely attacked by a clam, im terrified of monkeys and some marsupials. i dont like breathing other peoples air, or letting other people breathe my air. Born and raised in Port Townsend,but, i have canadian citizenship. rode horses competitively for 8 years. I speak fluent spanish and lived in Chile for eight months when i was sixteen. I often find myself driving with my windsheild wipers on when it's not raining... Ultimatly i want to end up with an acre of land in roratonga...working in new zealand and living the rest of my life out in paradise with a fleet of pet sea lions and narwhales. for anything deeper you'll have to actually talk to me...
