Kvitkalily's Traveler Profile

About Kvitkalily

Profession

The real question is, would I really call it a profession?

Favourite music

Everything! love everything from rock to jazz to alternative to opera to funk to "non-categorical". we're still working on country, though i do like folk and bluegrass.

Birthplace

Chicago, IL, USA

Favourite movie

There are so many movies that I love!

Languages

English, Ukrainian, Spanish, a tiny bit of Russian, a tiny bit less of Chinese, and a miniscule amount of sing-songy Italian that I learned from a borrowed "Learn It At Home!" CD (Where is it? Dove?! It's here! Eccolo qua!).

Favourite quote

"What is the feeling when you're driving away from people, and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? -it's the too huge world vaulting us, and it's good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies."

Interests and hobbies

I love to laugh and play the piano. I love everything that sparkles, especially people's eyes. I love when the sun lights up a room. I love exotic fruit. I love long car-rides, esp. the ones where you don't know exactly where you're going to end up.

One thing I want to do before I die

See Antarctica. Or maybe just a penguin. I think I might be satisfied seeing a penguin all the way at the tip of Argentina.

Favourite book

I couldn't possibly list all my favorites.... I love Jack Kerouac, Bill Bryson, Jonathan Safran Foer, Roald Dahl, etc etc etc

My friends describe me as

oooo no idea.

The most amazing moment in my life so far

I am lucky to have had many "most amazing moments" in my life--I don't want to jinx it by trying to choose just one!
