Profile Information

About Me:
I enjoy broadening my horizons by meeting new people with diverse backgrounds. I love bringing friends together, whether for a bit of networking, an afternoon of wine tasting, a happy hour, or just a good old game night (which will bring out a competitiveness that surprises even myself).

I've lived abroad and am passionate about travel and discovering the wonders of the world. Since I find historical sites fascinating, some of my favorite destinations visited thus far include Egypt, India, Morocco, Greece, and Turkey.

There is plenty of local exploration to be done right here on our own Central Coast. Part of my business concerns showcasing the best of what our beautiful area has to offer. My business also takes me into the realms of HR, marketing, and business development.
Occupation:
Self-employed
My Hobbies & Interests:
Travel, reading, wine groups, marketing, networking, human resource, social & environmental consciousness...
My Website:
http://www.EnWraptureByElise.com
Favorite Music:
I love jazz, alternative, classical, a little opera, and old standards. Favorite artists are Dave Matthews, Hootie & the Blowfish, Counting Crows, Antje Duvekot, Amos Lee, Adele, Nina Simone, Diana Krall, Tristan Prettyman, Eliane Elias, Frank Sinatra, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, Brett Dennen, Michael Franti, Ray Charles, Norah Jones, Damien Rice, Bebel, Joao, Maria Callas (La Mamma Morta),...
Hey, and then we have our great local talent - Louie Ortega, SLO Mambo, Jill Knight...what happened to Joose?
Favorite Movies / TV Shows:
I don't have TV, but sometimes will rent a whole season of something - most recently The Tudors (the costumes are incredible), Rome, Deadwood, Gilmore Girls, Desperate Housewives, or CSI.

I watch lots of movies, and tend to be drawn to a good thriller or period drama, Some favorites have been: The Bourne Trilogy, The Kite Runner, Michael Franti's I Know I'm Not Alone, Something's Gotta Give, The Upside of Anger...When I'm in the mood for a chick flick, it's 2 Weeks Notice or How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Favorite Books:
I love to read, but don't read for pleasure as much as I used to. I'm currently reading Paula, by Isabel Allende, and just finished Jeffrey Gitomer's Customer Satisfaction is Worthless, Customer Loyalty is Everything. I've liked everything I've read of Gitomer's. A few of my all time favorite books are: Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel (everything he writes is so incredibly interesting), Rebecca, Pillars of the Earth, Gone With the Wind, and anything by John Grisham.

Yes, it was my only day that I had help to move and things didn't go as planned. Coffee would be great. What works for you? I am between Paso and SM this week. Would love to see you soon...

Just stopped in to say hi. It's truly been a long time. The last time I saw you I was not feeling well, and we didn't even have a chance to talk. Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Btw, enjoying your daughter's new song as I'm writing here. She truly is talented. Is/does she play anywhere in town? Will you make me a cd of her stuff? thx.

Good list! Such a simple effort can make a difference if only to raise consciousness! I go along with all of it except the fluorescent bulbs... they hurt my eyes and make me feel like I am at work! I love soft lighting... and candles...

Yes, yes, yes! How about a Turkish bath at Cemberlitas Hamami? Brandy, travel is my passion, so I'm a bit envious of your trip around the world! One of my favorite trips was to India, where I did The Golden Triangle - Delhi, Agra, & Jaipur. I love…

My favorite place in the world is Istanbul, which I think is the most romantic city in the world. Leslie posted some pictures here.
