Hello there!

My name is Arryle Haynes, I am 23 years old with a fire in my heart to travel and experience different outlets I am not familiar with. I will be backpacking through Europe come March 27-June 27th. I am a huge admirer of classic literature from Homer to Hemingway, Wilde to Twain, William Blake to Marcel Proust. I hold a deep ambition to forever learn and open my heart to the highs and lows of life. I was born and raised in California, though currently I reside in New York City. A few of my favorite things in life in no particular order are Food, Music, and Nature. Food fuels my body and the act of sitting with family, friends, strangers and bonding over stories and relations through food is a favorite fast time of mine. Music allows me to embody emotion...with that I love to Dance. As for Nature, Nature doesn't try to convince me to be a certain way, it accepts you, it provides a beauty that cannot be man made (as an artist who creates with my hands...I respect that deeply)I am traveling to stimulate my curiosities, fuel my sense of gratitude, and most importantly keep me connected to my roots.
