I'm a midwestern transplant from Chicago and I've been here since August 2002. I grew up in the north suburbs of Chicago with a very loving family. My mom owned a Baskin-Robbins for 11 years and I think i ate ice cream almost everyday of my life that I was in my parents' house. I went to college at a large university in the middle of the cornfields. I liked it there, but didn't love it.... played varsity tennis and graduated with a finance degree. As a dutiful daughter, I took a job as a financial analyst near my family. After 2 years, I transfered offices to Dallas. I figured if I didn't leave now, I might never leave home. Time to grow up.

Dallas truly sucked... I didn't know anyone there, and people there did not appreciate me nor anything different from their white skin.

I loved to travel, and every year, on my measly 10 days of corporate vacation days, I went afar... to places I saw on National Geographic and Discovery Channel. On my 3rd vacation, I chose to go to Africa and I met an American who was traveling around the world for a year. I thought to myself, why can't I do that? So the moment I returned home, I began planning my itinerary and next looked back. The day I told my parents was a difficult day. My mom thought I got fired from my job, because she couldn't think of a single good reason of why I should quit my job to travel... without a husband at that!

It was an amazing experience. I visited 37 countries, every continent except Antarctica and visited every friend I met in the 4 years of traveling before. I met tons of interesting people and saw unforgettable things. And I'm proud that I did it alone and saw things through my own eyes and challenged myself to be independent.

People who will dance with me all night long... who will be
there for me when I need them... who will be silly with me
ANYTIME... who will love me for who I am... and someone who
will let me love them.
