About me

Gender Female
Industry Banking
Occupation Position trader
Location San Francisco, California, United States
Introduction I’m a Northern California native with an International Relations/modern history degree from the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland currently working in mortgage banking in the San Francisco Bay Area. The wider world has been a passion of mine for a long time, and few things excite me more than heading off to a new far-flung destination, be it with friends, family or riding solo. I find East Asia particularly alluring and would happily spend the next decade traipsing from Indonesia to Japan. For now I am happy to sneak away when I can, though, and tide myself over with ski weekends and short haul trips to Tahoe, Santa Barbara, Portland, etc. However, I do have a quarter-life crisis contingency plan, which involves moving to Bali and doing something that's both relaxing and cool (I'm not entirely sure what).
Interests travel (duh), riding, skiing, the beach, the gym, the steam room at the gym, good food, good cocktails, warmth
Favorite Movies Titanic-I still cry every time I watch it.
Favorite Music wow...um...a lot
Favorite Books many, but for now I'll just say The Poisonwood Bible-it actually made me want to go to the Congo

Which do you prefer and why: whittling with soap or whistling with wood?

whittling, obviously
