I love storytelling, learning about other cultures, and connecting with people (self-explanatory for my loving the idea of a pen pal). I like to write and read, and I do writing workshops and go to literature-related community events for fun. I grew up across four continents, which means I've got a travel habit that's incurable, but I enjoy it a lot. I love art, fashion, history, current events -- journalism is a passion of mine (let's talk Anthony Bourdain if you've seen his show/read his books!). I love the outdoors; time spent in nature is healing.
