This user hasn't written any guides yet.

Screen name:

Age:

29

Gender:

Female

If you must know:

It's none of your business ;-)

Travel status:

Traveling soon

Hometown:

Batimore, MD

Currently in:

Baltimore, MD

Traveling Next:

Haiti

Favorite places I've been:

McLeod Ganj/Dharamsala; Scottish highlands; Quito, Ecuador; possibly anywhere in Alaska; Innsbruck, Austria; Peloponissos region, Greece; Interlaken, Switerland (my keyboard is incapable of the missing letter there); getting lost in the medinas of Morocco

Places I want to go to:

Haiti, Chile, Ireland, Japan, Cuba, Argentina, and SE Asia are the more immediate aims. But I want to go anywhere and everywhere.

About me:

I'm a quiet old soul. A nurse by trade and its shaped me in unforeseen ways. Trying to carve out my path in life. Learning the world and its beautiful quirks and bits of darkness along the way.

I'm fired up on:

Argentine Tango is the new thing. I want to master this. Surfing is an interest as well. Observing human nature, women's issues, animals, and warm drinks in solitude or good company really get me going.

Tunes I rock out to:

Passionate voices, pianos, violins, acoustic guitar... Striking. Always need something striking, fierce or crooning.

Travel style:

Light. Let's say that again. Light. Learning how to be resourceful and make do is powerful. Yet in that I dislike the dirty, unkept traveler. Simplicity and sloppiness need NOT go hand in hand.

Quote:

“People travel to faraway places to watch, in fascination, the kind of people they ignore at home.” - Dagobert D. Runes
“Traveling is a brutality. It forces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiar comfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing is yours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky - all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.” - Cesare Pavese
“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Sports I do:

Swimming

Favorite artist(s):

none

Favorite books:

Taran Wanderer

I want to make a difference by:

living honestly. learning persistance and patience. giving more than i take. support. i do not fool myself in thinking im made for leadership. im not. my mind wanders too easily. but i do pride myself on loyalty and hard work when inspired. convince me youre doing something worthwhile and i will throw my weight behind you to obscene degrees.

Languages spoken, other than English:

Spanish, learning Greek

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

learning stories of the stars on a mud rooftop in Sevare, Mali

Why I travel:

for reasons that are still a mystery to me. its the only consistent dream i have ever had. but simply that i must. i must -move-.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

the hills of arcadia in Greece, amidst the fog and silence of ancient ruins

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

Guanacaste coast of Costa Rica

Before I die I'd like to:

fully reach that Maslow peak.
and love. truly love the wonderful people in my life.

Let's collaborate:

i'd like to learn more about interviewing and writing. to learn and develop these skills. to possibly combine them with women's health care.

That is odd that it's not letting you respond. But whatever, works, right? I hear the nurse sector is really good, although I don't have personal experience with it. As far as the Air Force in general, the benefits are great and if you can take advantage of location, it can open you to a lot of travel opportunities where you have a constant pay check, a place to sleep and food to eat while traveling and exploring after work and on the weekends when you can! Not a bad gig, all thing's considered.

The Days Inn is not exactly what I had in mind when planning my weekend camping runaway. Unfortunately, a deer of Wisconsin had travel plans of its own and one smoking, totaled car later I'm hanging out in Black River Falls, Wisconsin for the night. What the hell is in this town? A fabulous...
