About Me

CURRENT MISSION

loose myself; find myself

ABOUT ME

I am different every day. Aren't we all?
I am pretty silly. Kinda all over the place with my interests and I am known for my spontaneity. Why be so serious when life can be so unexplainable, unexpected, and full of beautiful, beautiful, beautiful surprises?? Life is just too much fun to be serious about every little thing.

I lived in Italy for 10 months in '11 and last summer '13 I backpacked through Spain Portugal and Italy by myself.
This past year I spent traveling the Pacific north west and have finally found myself settled in Denver, CO.

PHILOSOPHY

"Where there is great doubt there will be awakening; small doubt, small awakening; no doubt, no awakening."
