Name:
Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali

GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Wild and Sexy!


SCOTLAND! I love this place so much, everything makes sense to me here. From the landscape to the cutest boys I've ever seen, I am having the time of my life. I'm still challenged to get to a proper computer and I will do, so I can fill in the gaps of the last few days, but suffice to say I love it here and have much to report. Thanks to Robert Taylor and the Contra Costa Times for running a piece on my trip, now that is a great challenge to try and post as much as I can! I am traveling on the HAGGIS Tour Bus for six days of Scottish fun, with a bunch of Aussies and Canadians, mostly students, and one "geezer" from Australia. (That's not trying to be rude, anyone over 60 is called a geezer.) Our Scottish tour guides, Neil and Chloe are passionate and energetic and keep the whole thing wonderful. Chloe knows her Scottish history like she made it up herself and Neil is a cute nutter who sings everything and has absolutely NO inner monologue. It's hysterical. I will try to post tonight as this is the best computer I have seen in a while, that is after a day of traveling around the Isle of Skye with my new mates! I am staying at a place called "Saucy Mary's" which is named after a lady who used to stand on the top of her castle and lift up her dress as the sailors sailed through the harbor. For some reason, I'm convinced that I was her in a previous life! Off for brekkie then a trekkie! For more info on what I am up to, go to www.haggisadventures.com LATERS!
