CURRENT MISSION

In search of adventure, truth, beauty, love. I am a blogger and will document my travels through the people and things I come across along the way. I'm challenging myself to break out of the barriers created by convention.

ABOUT ME

Hello! I'm a designer by trade and I love going to vintage and antique stores for fun stuff to make into jewelry and clothing. All the pieces I make are completely unique like the wearer and it's pretty much been my life for the past two years... I was recently accepted to Parsons The New School for Design in New York City so I'll be starting in the Fall and I'm suuper excited about finishing up my degree!!

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the NOW! Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not here, enjoy the present moment... If things aren't working out the way you wanted them to or thought they would it's about picking your head up and seeing what your options are. Treat people well, and treat yourself well. Pay attention and keep a positive attitude!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to CS but I am excited about meeting new people through the site. I believe the best way to see a place is through the locals and I'm always down for an adventure!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome!! Like I said above I'm still pretty new to the site so I'm looking forward to having more experiences and meeting new people!

Interests

By trade I am a clothing and jewelry designer, but I love styling and composition too. I like talking and laughing with people, watching movies, making jewelry, thrifting, photography (using my holga!), sipping tea and drinking wine. I also loove fashion photography and high fashion in general. Alexander McQueen is a favorite!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am a road tripper... I love being on the open road and just cruising down the highway. So, last January I drove to Minnesota on a whim. It sounds like a crazy idea because I didn't have a working heater in my car and it was blizzard weather most of the way but for some reason I had to do it. And it was a blast!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we are all capable of doing, saying, being the same things (in our own ways of course). Basically anything is possible. What makes each person an individual is the choices he/she makes in their life or circumstances they find theirself in that make up who they are now.
