Traveling soon
Hometown: 
TN
Currently in: 
Marina del Rey, working on my sailboat!
 
Traveling Next: 
Baja roadtrip
Favorite places I've been: 
INDONESIA BY FAR...Africa is a close 2nd and Mexico will always have my heart!! And, I'm sure the Central America trip will be epic--especially because I will see it all my from my little 14' solar trailer I left down in a small mountain village in Mexico.

Places I want to go to: 
More of Asia, South America, Morocco, Ghana, Turkey, Yemen, hell...everywhere.

 
About me: 
I'm usually on the road solo and travel very light; a solar backpack with a few changes of clothes is 'round about all I need. And one whisper of a fantastic off-grid meal will change my entire travel plan (as if there ever was one)~I also just got certified for Open Water Scuba Diving whilst in Indonesia, so I'm sure that will alter my future travel plans in a big way...
And, yah, this one just popped out of nowhere, I found my dream sailboat and bought the beast. Kinda puts a new spin on life here in the near future.
On the employment side of things, I'm what's known as a bit of a self-starter. I skipped college, moved to LA when I was 20 and shacked up at the YMCA in Hollywood---until I got my first job in the entertainment industry. I tend to get lucky (maybe because I've got the gift of gab) and I was a Line Producer/Production Manager before long on indie movies and TV shows---things like The Amazing Race, America's Next Top Model and a lovely year-long stint at Harpo (that was a doozie because I was able to work in Africa for months).



Last year, I sold an adventure show to the Travel Channel called "Craving Adventure" where I was the Director, Host, Writer and Producer (www.fatcakeproductions.com) and I've got another Pilates retreat that I'm producing coming up in January 2009 in Mexico (www.purepilatesretreat.com)---it's a sunshiney blissful mix of volunteering, cooking workshops and pilates.



I'm also a food and travel writer and tend to eat at hole-in-the-wall gems---the more ethnic the better. The biggest thing Im immersed in right now is 4th World Love, an NGO that I'm creating as we speak. Should be a fun ride--my blog (www.bigsweettooth.com) pretty much covers it all~

HI Misty - Impressive work, my friend . . . and good works too. I sold my truck several years ago and bought a Sony HDR-FX1 with the proceeds . . . banged my head against numerous walls (and repeatedly) working my way through Final Cut Express . . . put together a 23 minute film for the Sun Valley (Idaho) Spiritual Film Festival . . . would love to hear (when you have time) about what a network wants to get a show going . . . as a chef myself, it involves food . . . as a traveler, it involves travel too . . . and info, webistes, etc you could pass along would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, keep up the great work.
