I 'll get to to adding pictures and the like later.

My homes: San Francisco, Seattle, San Juan Islands, Idaho, Philadelphia, and Barcelona ( My dad moved often...now he is in Pacifica, CA.....paradise. )

My Heart is in the mountains and the loving, adventurous spirit of the Pacific Northwest (the states)....I grew up in an outdoorsy sports place and I can't think of anything more fun than whitewater rafting or skiing. Except maybe spending time in one of my favorite cities....if anybody can find me a place with both, let me know and I am there.

I was on the East Coast for 6 years and I liked being so close to DC and NY....I always had friends relatively close by, which is good because the rest of them are spread out all over the world.

I am now in Barcelona and I am so happy to be back-its too wonderful for words. I´ll try to work for justice in world trade and the global economy. Which brings me to my interests, I guess...next chapter?

Nature, so magnificent and essential to our spirit, anybody working to conserve it, keep on going.

I love music, I paint and friends are the best part of life.

but yes, about the serious stuff
Free Trade agreements and International Corporations have brought opportunity to some, but increased poverty and environmental devastation to many. I do not work against globalization; Capitalism can be a great force. I work for responsible practices that ensure protection of communities, people and the environment. I´d like to create more collaberation between large corporations and governments and those that are sometimes exploited by their practices.

Related to that, I want to continue to spread awareness of the racism and cultural segregation that exists so blatantly in the states, but that so many white people are totally unaware of....its got to get better.We are supposed to be a prosperous country, but a trip through the city of Philadelphia, and many others, will show a really different story.

so those are most important to me, and where I want to be working (aside from wherever I can get a job). Even though I will be in Barcelona for a while, I´ve got to keep moving...

Anything that gets my heart racing......skiing, swimming, cliff diving, water skiing, jet skiing, snowmobiling, ...you get the picture...
traveling on the fly,

I love music- especially good hip hop and raspy female vocalists...lots of brit groups as well....really most genres have a bit to offer......huge dance festivals in hidden away places and also languages.

I stay casual and take care of my business but every once in a while (My body just can't take it all time anymore) I love to get all dressed up and party my brains all night and morning long. .
