About me:

I'm a wanderluster, and I cannot wait to hit Europe for another month this summer. I've traveled abroad and/or studied abroad every summer for the past nine years and have been fortunate to begin additional traveling throughout the year -- my teaching schedule affords me the time flexibility, but not so much with the funds. But I make it work because travel and what I learn from my experiences traveling is so worth every effort. I generally bring my students to Europe every summer and then stay on to do solo travel.

I'm fired up on:

Eating, writing poetry, learning languages--in addition to English, I speak Spanish (which I teach at a high school) and French. I fully understand Tagalog and can say numerous things, but I generally answer in English when someone speaks to me in Tagalog. I'm starting to learn Portuguese, and Italian is next on my list. I dig photography and purses, and I am a freak for rillette, crepes, percebes, and tapas. I could spend days in museums and am most at home when I'm with my best friends or when I'm in Paris. Dancing fires me up (I also teach it at the high school) and buying books is an addiction.

Tunes I rock out to:

There is truly too much to list.

Travel style:

I love traveling with others, but I cherish most the times when I can travel alone. I pack too much, but I only ever take a carry-on. Traveling is not for vacation. It's an opportunity to discover myself by learning about other people's culture, history, heritage, art, cuisine, etc. My best souvenirs are the memories I take home. I keep my spending to a minimum, and consequentially, I get to enjoy the places to where I travel like a temporary local, not a tourist.

Sports I do:

Running, swimming, dance

Favorite artist(s):

Klimt, Botero, Bonnard, Mucha, Cezanne

Favorite books:

The Alchemist;

Who I'd like to meet on my travels:

Everyone

I want to make a difference by:

Sharing what I've learned with my students and inspiring them to venture out into the world, escaping the bubble in which they live so that they can experience life and not just read about it or watch it on TV. I will be taking some of them to Europe next year to work with Habitat for Humanity

Languages spoken, other than English:

Read my "I'm fired up on" section

I felt the most immersed in a foreign culture when:

living like a local in my apartment in Paris.

Why I travel:

See my "travel style" section.

Ideal place to watch the sunrise:

next to someone I love

Ideal place to watch the sunset:

next to someone I love

Before I die I'd like to:

I have my Life List, but I will not be sharing that info here.

Let's collaborate:

I am interested in becoming a travel photographer, photojournalist, blogwriter, travelwriter. I would love to collaborate with publications that need some great photos or write-ups from my travels. I have a penchant for food, so I take a lot of food photos and rack up a list of great places to eat so that I can share that info with others.
