I am a expanding my horizons wherever the inspiration and motivation directs me. I love meeting new people and learning the culture and customs that have made them who they are today as well as sharing my own. I grew up in a small town with my brother and father for most of my childhood. We raised goats, chickens, and baled hay. These foundations cemeted my hardworking characteristic. I also had become very independent at a young age. I learned to cook for myself and the rest of my family. When I moved out after high school I worked for limited brands distribution center for 3 years as a merchandise handler, trainer, and group lead. Then, I moved to Miami in 2014 and became a nanny, which I loved. I spent one month volunteering at a Macrobiotic cooking school in Massachusetts. In 2015 I traveled to Northern California and Indiana. I worked on an organic blueberry and chestnut farm and loved working directly in nature.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am traveling to see that green grass everyone speaks of and to gain new experiences from a variety of perspectives. I also know that the locals of any area I desire to visit will give me good insite that I can pass on to other travelers.

Intereses

I am currently trying my best to learn songs on the guitar. I spent one year doing a lot of song writing and now I have great passion in playing songs for get together that the majority can participate in. I still have a lot of practice left to sharpen my skills. When it comes to yoga and meditation I am an amateur but most things I do are just instinctive and without much guide. I am very open to learning more from others but when I feel the need to go forth with these health benefiting activities I am very creative with my routines. I am a great swimmer and love challenges. I like diving and backflips from high places, a bit of a dolphin in spirit. I enjoy being helpful and productive, I'll probably do the dishes after dinner and help with chores. I am quite experienced in living very simple. I can survive with little money and resources and still feel I have more than what I need.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I believe generosity and kindness is the most amazing thing someone can do for themselves as well as others. I gave my car to a man who rode his bike an hour to work in the winter. He was willing to pay for it when he overheard another co-worker and I conversing about it. I was going to take it to the scalp yard because I needed to get rid of it before I had moved. It needed a lot of work but it still was running and had potential. He offered me more than what the scrapyard was going to give me. I knew he was going through a lot of financial stress so when we got it notarized to put in his name I handed him the keys and let him know he didn't have to pay anything. I told him to take the money he was going to give me and spend it on repairs. In that moment he was in shock and ever so thankful. This to me is my proudest moment in life. I took a lot of time reflecting how carelessly we spend our money on things that disappear.
