bird of passage
1. Any migratory bird
2. Anyone who travels or roams about constantly (For example, Mary moves nearly every year; she's a true bird of passage. This phrase transfers the literal meaning of a migrating bird to human behavior.)

I [happily] struggle with wanderlust and can relate with Mary.

I'm an honest person and crave it from others.

I love discovering new ways of thinking, observing and understanding the world around me.

I love festivals, banyan trees, healthy food, street fairs, seaplanes, seasons, campfires, bernese mountain dogs, bonfires, dancing, galleries, bartering in the souks, my swiss army knife, coffee shops, hiking, backpacking, the 1920's and 1940's, farmer's markets, local music, and holidays.

"All my life one of my greatest desires has been to travel-to see and touch unknown countries, to swim in unknown seas, to circle the globe, observing new lands, seas, people, and ideas with insatiable appetite, to see everything for the first time and for the last time, casting a slow, prolonged glance, then to close my eyes and feel the riches deposit themselves inside me calmly or stormily according to their pleasure, until time passes them at last through its fine sieve, straining the quintessence out of all the joys and sorrows."

I co-host a weekly outdoor adventure radio/podcast show.

...making people laugh. I love intelligent, witty, sarcastic, observational senses of humor.

I am comfortably able to defuse a conflict or difficult person/situation with a well-timed, well-placed word, smile or observation. I was born with an unlimited supply of patience

I am good at listening, encouraging/supporting others, packing a suitcase or backpack (or car, moving van or storage unit), hiking and backpacking, making banana bread, trying new things, and finding things (I specialize in lost/misplaced objects).

I look young for my age. I attribute healthy living and the fact that I pay little attention to age.

I love movies. My all-time favorite is Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I've made it a tradition to go to the Sundance Film Festivals every year. It's been 15+ consecutive January's so far.

I believe there are amazing things to see on the small screen as well as in the theaters. Fringe, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, Game of Thrones and Californication are a few of my favorites. I was a diehard Macgyver fan.

I love music, especially performed live. Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder remains my all-time favorite.

I'm a vegetarian.

I love good (usually microbrews or craft) beers. And I enjoy wine.

Humor. A sense of humor means everything to me. I love to make others laugh and smile. And I love being in a room of laughing and smiling people.

Friends and family.

Traveling.

Guinness.

The Mountains.

The Ocean.

Music.

...what inspires me. I love to be inspired by the words and actions of others. That's one reason why I try to be an inspiration to others.

My next trip or adventure.
