Conservation, recycling, helping people, working at the zoo, working in the lab (i'm a bit of a nerd!), running around outside in the rain with my roommate, eating pitas, watching national geographic channel, throwing water balloons, eating flamingo shaped lollipops, (I have more, but I have issues remembering them at times.)

I want to see the sun rise over the ocean in South Africa.

I want to make a change and help those that others usually don't realize they are there and need help.

Snow Patrol, The Decemberists, The Streets, Architecture in Helsinki, Arctic Monkeys, Art Brut, Augustana, Be Your Own Pet, Teddybears, Dave Matthew's Band, The Beatles, Bloc Party, Dresden Dolls, Fiona Apple, Head Automatica, The Verve, The Postal Service, We Are Scientists...It keeps going, but I'm having a brain fart and can't remember.

There are so many beautiful and fulfilling places in the world to embrace and explore, but alas, my heart belongs to Africa.

South Africa
Namibia
Tanzania
Kenya
Ghana
Zambia
The Gambia

This is just but a short list for one continent. :)
