I'm originally a New Yorker...so I love a challenging, provocative and insightful conversation. But, I am now a Californian, so I appreciate a healthy, spiritual and fit life style. I'm a world traveler - I've been to six of seven continents and have met many interesting people along the way.
Global educator by profession...founded a non-profit called GlobalSchoolhouse.org where youth from around the globe can collaborate with one another to solve (or prevent) the world's problems. The concept is to use technology to benefit humanity.
My interests are diverse. When I'm not working you will find me on the tennis, racquetball or badminton court, at comedy, live music, art or theatre events, hiking, biking, traveling or playing games.
I love new challenges and I am currently learning how to play the ukulele and the keyboard. I am very fond of stars, Chihuahuas, and champagne!
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who is happy, healthy, funny, creative, intellectual, athletic, spiritual, loving, affectionate, kind, honest, truthful, generous, giving, balanced, adventurous, artistic, pet loving...and, like minded people who are making a difference in the world!

Hi Yvonne, you need more comments on your page. I've been meaning to ask if you've heard of an organization called TED. I haven't spent much time with their amazing wealth of resources but if you don't already know about them I think you would like to. Try starting here, http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/list/orderedby/INGENIOUS. Take care.
