I've always been a creative person; always a musician, lately more into photography and visual art. I love learning about other cultures, especially their music, art, and traditions. I've done some travelling (Italy, UK, Mexico, Paris, Berlin, and all over the US) and I hope to do much more (Japan, UK, Ethiopia, Morocco, Iceland, Romania et al). I'm planning to live overseas within the next ten years. I value deeper kinds of conversation and connection with people, so I'm a counselor/therapist in my professional life. I am divorced, with a 10 year old daughter.
