About me:
I'm a native of Kentucky, & lived in Germany from Feb. 2001 to April 2009, except for six months in 2007, when I lived in Kabul, Afghanistan. I'm now in the Portland, Oregon area. My web site has info about my work, how to camp with dogs, and why American women should travel more. You can also see photos from my travels. In late 2005, I completed my Masters Degree in Development Management from Open University in the United Kingdom, making me broke, but very well educated. My MySpace blog promotes volunteerism, especially for teens and 20somethings. I link only to actual friends (as in people I know), causes I support, musicians I adore and that I want to be heard by more people... and Nathan Fillion...
