Sometimes I am a successful artist and sometimes not. Traveling - particularly in third world countries - but anywhere I can learn about other cultures is my favorite occupation. Diversity turns me on. I am interested in tribal peoples and how they think and how they worship.

I definitely lean to the left politically. My hero is still Che Guevara.

Favorite places in the world are: Nepal, Bali, Guatemala and Costa Rica. Of course, I might find others that would also become my favorites. And I definitely want to keep looking.

Making a difference in the world is important to me. One of my goals has been to help women in developing countries. I am now living in Ubud, Bali - the art center of the world - as far as I'm concerned. I have chosen to live here because I love Bali and because I am quite depressed about the direction that America has been going. I do have some hope with Obama, but it's going to take a long time for America to get back on the right track.

I intend to live a life of peace and joy and I can do that here in Ubud. Everyday is a quiet celebration of tropical flowers, birds and dragonflies.

I am a jewelry designer and have a small business here manufacturing my designs and selling them in the US and in Japan. It supports me and my travel fever.

I plan to be spending more and more time in Costa Rica as I prepare to retire there in a few years. The whole place fascinates me. I love the tropics.

I am looking for a traveling companion and life partner who is interesting, intelligent and who also has leftist political leanings. He must love adventure and have the courage it takes to leave home. An appreciation of literature, art and artists would be nice.

Living in Bali is fantastic, but it could be even better with the right partner. As great as life here is, it would be nice to share it with a
responsible, kind man with a mature outlook on life who is looking for a smart, mature and interesting woman.

I no longer want drama in my life. I want peace and adventure.
