Hello friends! My name is Artemis and I'm a 25 year-old traveler, musician, and artist from the sunny shores of southern California. I've been on the road for about 6 years now exploring the treasures of our glorious planet, and each day I find I am enlightened with a new sense of truth, beauty, and understanding about the world around me.

I love to sing, play the guitar, cook healthy meals, exercise, take photographs, create sculpture, and write poetry. Recently I've been passing my time playing in rivers and hot springs, hiking beautiful Northern California trails, baking delicious desserts, learning to play the dumbek, and sleeping under the stars. I love traveling and I truly enjoy meeting new people, hearing new stories, swapping pearls of wisdom and sharing the gems of our existence. I seek to be a kind, humble, and gentle being of light, laughter, and luminescence. I look for love in all of creation!
