CURRENT MISSION

Travel Europe and have an amazing time!

ABOUT ME

Hey Guys. I started CS when I was traveling around Europe and met some great people from around the world. Now I'd like to give back. I can't guarantee that I can host that often, but if you're in the area I'd show you around. I love to paint and draw and mess around with messy things to make something beautiful. I like going out and dancing and having a great time. I like hanging out and meeting new people from different walks of life. I want to continue my quest for more and more inspiration through my travels. I am way more interesting than a small paragraph in an About Me section.

PHILOSOPHY

To live life well. My favorite children's book is called Miss Rumphius and it has this mantra that I live by:
Travel to far off places
Live by the Sea
and do something to make the world more beautiful
Beyond that, I make my philosophy as I go along

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving is a big one. I've climbed 5 high peaks in the Adirondack mountain range. I have produced large pieces of Art and looked over 300 ft. cliffs. I also bottle fed two newborn sheep the other day because their mama was sick- no its not technically adventurous but... their tails wag when they nurse and they are so cute and friendly that I believe it's extraordinary

Teach, Learn, Share

I love art, I'll help you craft something if you'd like :). I am also a psychology and studio art double major with a lot of experience working with challenging youth and teens. I consider myself as having a lot of good insights, and stories, on people. My first one is no assumptions, beyond that my skills are unyielding empathy and patience. I'm a natural teacher in my life and I love it. I guess I want to learn something from someone who meets the same criteria- no matter the skill.
