I am an American expat currently living in Budapest, Hungary. I have also lived in France, England, Czech Republic and Panama. I travel extensively and have recently been to Rome, Venice, Athens, Amsterdam, Istanbul, London and traveled across Norway by bus, boat and train. Travel is a passion of mine and I cannot stay in one place longer than a few months.

I make my living as a Jill-Of-All-Trades, with a small web design business and publishing travel articles and short stories. I am involved in theater, music and various arts and supplement a little income with performing.

I have no children and do not want any. I am in a long term relationship with a wonderful man who is my soul mate. We have been together a little over nine years. We are not married simply because we see no reason to be married. I am interested in anthropology, history, ancient structures and just about any subject you might see in National Geographic, to sum it up. I speak English, Hungarian and some Spanish and French.

I love meeting new people, especially travelers and I have an artist in residence program in Panama to help foreign artists and creative people with lodging and board while visiting Panama.
