| New Orleans, Louisiana - Jackson Square at Night |
I'm always searching for something. As I get older I am realizing that it is pieces of me that I am looking for. Even in my travels and my longing to reach other ends of the world, I am realizing that through these experiences I am really trying to reach hidden parts of myself. I want to grow and live and experience the world while I can and though it seems like I may never be fulfilled, I feel a piece of my soul and a piece of who I really am grows into fruition. It is all about experiencing life and experiencing yourself. Just live.

|  | Where I call home I almost can't believe that I had lived in Boston, Massachusetts for almost 10 years. It had become my home and I do feel a great love for this city. It had seen me through my insanely crazy 20s and my many growing pains. For that I will be eternally grateful, but alas a change was well-overdue...
...so hello New York City!! After a year of struggling to survive I think I have finally started to find my niche :) It is true what they say: "If I can make it here, I'll make it anywhere!"

Where my heart calls home... My home away from home will always be New Orleans, Louisiana. I visited 5 times between 2001 and 2003, and have just returned from my 7th trip - my first Halloween there since Hurricane Katrina. I am constantly working on my New Orleans page, so please stop by and learn about the place I love so much :)
It is sometimes hard to believe that such an amazing and unique city exists in the United States. I dream of one day moving there - if not anytime soon, then perhaps to retire. It is such a gorgeous, distinctive and spiritual place. I try to return at least once a year to heal my soul in its beauty, allowing me to escape to another world.

| St. Basil's Catheral - Moscow, Russia |
| | My Dreams... Russia
Prague at Christmas
Antarctica
Trans-Siberian Railroad journey
Russia has been my dream for years. I told myself that I would do it by the time my 30th rolled around...and I DID!!! :) Moscow was more than I ever could have hoped it to be...it was like a dream. Antarctica and the Tran-Siberian Railroad will hopefully be done before my 35th and 40th birthdays.

Explore. Dream. Discover."
