About Me



Right now I am working on my thesis in graduate school for Masters of Sculpture while teaching college drawing classes. I am always up for a good adventure and at the end of the day...a good beer!



I am searching for unique friends who have a great sense of creativity and who love to seize every moment of life!








My next adventure in planning is a graduation present to myself in March 2008. I was off to Peru to see Machu Picchu and then an earthquake changed that itinerary...so now its off to the rainforests of Panama and then to the San Blas Islands - made up of 350 islets in the carribbean of which 80�re uninhabited. Here, the Kuna still live in thatched huts and cocunuts are their form of currency. I will be staying on a small island with only nine huts, it will be a very remote and beautiful experience!





Interests

Ecological Arts, Photography, Geography, Natural Science, Travel Outdoor activities: Hiking in mountain or forest terrain, salt water fly-fishing, river canoing or kayaking, camping and caving.

Favorite Movies

I like independent films, adventure movies, odd or dark comedies, most foreign films particularly the French and Asian films that tend to use artistic color palletes to set mood. These are some I like...Run Lola Run, Diarios de motocicleta, Amores perros, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, City of Lost Children.
 

Favorite TV Shows

Ugh, that dust-covered box on a shelf..I prefer a book, the outdoors, a good movie or friends for entertainment over TV. That said, "The Simpsons" offer some great laughs!
 

Favorite Books

Any books about adventure or survival is good with me!!
I am currently reading: Getting Stoned with Savages, Adrift:67 days lost at sea, Space and Place:The Perspective of Experience

The Wait : Apr 26, 2007
After failed promises by their government - for roads, schools, and better healthcare - hundreds of villagers from Seis de Mayo and surrounding communities took machetes and matters into their own hands. They began a massive protest that lasted 38 hours; our tour bus became an unfortunate part of their strategic roadblock that ensnared traffic for miles. They waited for promises. We waited for freedom. As nightfall came - so did the kindness of strangers - we were able to abandon our bus for the haven of a local family's backyard. They welcomed us into their home and provided us with food and shelter. I slept upon the cold, rocky earth by the backdoor - using my backpack as a pillow - listening to the demonstrators scream their frustrations until dawn.

-My travels thru Honduras on March 26-27, 2007 during a Graduate course in Geography travel and photography
