CURRENT MISSION

I have a horrible case of wanderlust, and the only cure is recreational homelessness

ABOUT ME

"we travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us"

My name is Alexandra and I love exploring new places and going on adventures with new people. I'm very optimistic and friendly and very interested in learning about the lifestyles of people all around the world. I'd love to learn a wide variety of odd craftsmanships-show me what your interested in because I'm sure I'll be interested in learning what you do. If you are headed the same direction I'm headed in, I'm always down for a temporary travel buddy to share the experience with.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the number one reason why we are here is to lessen the suffering of others. If you can't help someone, at least don't hurt them. I believe that goes in all walks of life, with humans and animals alike. I think it's extremely important to be educated, yet I think education goes much further than just schooling. General opinion is starting to tell us that we have to do this sequence of steps in our life in a specific order, or else we aren't doing life correctly. I think the biggest risk in life is living with unhappy circumstances, in an unhappy job with the bet that you'll make enough money to buy your freedom later.
