Hello! My name is Erin. I'm single and I live in the city of Atlanta. Love, love, love my city! Trips to the country are a necessity, though! I have been a teacher in Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine and am going back to school to learn Arabic and to study the Middle East. I have traveled to several different countries, but have many more to go...Sweden, Denmark, and Italy are three on the top of my list. I am a DIY kind of girl and am constantly starting new projects. I like to make things from scratch.

Franny and Zooey, To Kill a Mockingbird...currently, anything having to do with Christian/Muslim relationsions, Islam, and the Middle East, and really good, "sucks-you-in", intelligent fiction.

Yikes! Hooked on Lost, Mad Men, 30Rock, Gossip Girl, Vampires Diaries (ha!)...the list goes on. Living in a place where you can't get good t.v. really makes you appreciate it when you get back!

Always, always anything having to do with paper. New projects include crocheting, knitting, sketching, watercolor, block printing. Also, I like to sew, but my sewing machine is not cooperating at the moment. :(
