For the better part of my life I called myself a California beach girl. Mostly, I thought of myself as a tomboy. I grew up on the beach in Venice, California, body surfing, and playing beach volleyball, and tennis.
Later I moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado where I began calling myself a mountain girl. Then, I spent my time skiing, mountain biking and hiking. I looked forward to skiing fresh powder snow on those cold winter mornings. In the summers I would hike for hours in the wilderness areas of Colorado, enjoying the beauty and solitude. If I was lucky and it was the right time of year, I would return with a bag of wild mushrooms.
From an early age I had a passion for travel and have been lucky enough to see a lot of the world. I have sailed in the Caribbean and scuba dived in Indonesia, the South Pacific and the Caribbean and traveled to many European countries.
Then came the day I saw Argentine tango danced for the first time. In a matter a months it became my passion.
I have a throw pillow sitting on my couch. That says:
When I bought it many years ago, I thought, ok, I know my dream is to travel more. But what's my passion?
Well now I know, my passion is tango and its fit perfectly with my dream of travel. These days I travel the world living my dream and sharing my passion for tango with the people I meet along the way.
