CURRENT MISSION

See new places, meet new people, and to grow and evolve

ABOUT ME

Hello!

My name is Alison. I'm 32 years old, and I currently reside in Philadelphia, PA, but I am very interested in moving to Colorado!

I nanny during the day for a baby

I consider myself a free spirit, a lover of life, and all that comes with it. I'm quite quirky, but in a good way. I have a passion for meeting new people, trying new things, exploring new places, and making wonderful memories.

A few of my favorite things include:

Music (I love all music, but esp. folk and soul),laughing,singing,house shows,bbqs,parties, makeup, the beach, and movies.

I think I am a lot of fun to be around. That's for you to decide for yourself. I'm also very responsible,(which I find to be very important) I tend to be quiet at times, especially when I'm nervous or unsettled in my surroundings.

I never really had the time to travel, because of work and school, but this summer I'd like to change that a bit.

I would like to try to surf a bit, and then host once I feel more comfortable.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I went to Israel for a month with 20 other kids my age, from all over the country (I was 17?) I didn't know one soul in the group.

By the end of the month, we were a family.

I rode a camel, fell in love, had my heart broken, slept in the dessert, hiked all 4 seas, ran down a sand dune, through a sand storm, swam in the dead sea (OUCH), had a midnight swim in the Mediterranean sea in my underthings, and made amazing memories, even though I lost touch with everyone.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

You don't need to change yourself. Your already perfect.

Don't change. Evolve.
