Overview
About Me
I've always lived for my dreams of traveling and seeing the world, experiencing as much as possible, not being tied down to one place. Every day I try to take those dreams just a little bit further towards reality.
The things I love most are mountains, music - especially creating it - and the feeling of absolute freedom where nothing can stop me.
I enjoy solitude but I also crave meeting new people, I feel like we can all learn a lot from one another although it always seems irrationally sad that we're just passing through, we're just travellers, never sticking for good. I'm still trying to learn to accept that :)
Also, I love the smell of ground and skin in the summer, tequila, Freddie Mercury, caramel, strawberries and dogs. And horses.
Interests
Hiking, trekking, climbing - above all else, planning my journeys on Google Maps and walking around cities through the Street View, watching airplanes land, eating sushi, riding horses, watching musicals, drinking earl grey tea, conversing with myself, making lists, singing, watching people's faces and their reactions to one another, playing with my mom's dogs, waiting for sunrises

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I hitchhiked all through the western Europe, slept on a sidewalk behind a gas station while doing it and watched a sunrise on the beach in Marseille after tying a broken tent to a jar of marmalade.
Also, I lived in Sevilla where I survived 56 degrees of heat.
