CURRENT MISSION
Driving across the East Coast working with a Jewelry boutique called Culture Cross that sells fair trade jewelry from around the world, at music and art festivals. Work trading, learning about sustainable, permaculture farms/homesteads and couch surfing in between shows :)

I'm currently cultivating how to live sustainably through, mind, body and soul:)

ABOUT ME

I'm a free spirit that has been following the wind shall we say. I traveled the U.S. in a converted 1996 Dodge Ram Van for a year, backpacked and lived in South East Asia for a year, and have just begun my travels on my 03 Suzuki Savage 650 Motorcycle. I recently lived in the Mountains on NC at an artist residency for 6 weeks and then WWOOFed in Western NC at two permaculture homesteads for a month.

I love art and am sort of a jack of all trades. I illustrate, sew, embroider, wire wrap, make jewelry, paint, photography and many more. I love music and dancing. I've been traveling around the U.S. working for a jewelry boutique at festivals. Im really easy going, down to earth, and love to explore. I've recently picked up slacklining and rock climbing as well. I'd love to get my hands on some rocks as much as possible! I have been snowboarding my whole life and lived in Big Sky Montana for a year. I love passionate music and I'm always up so see a show. I also scuba dive, and road bike but currently not caring any equipment.

PHILOSOPHY

My religion is simple truths. I believe understanding of everything comes full circle to simplicity. Do it now because if you don't you'll always wonder what if you had. Im working on my daily life values, I find it very important to live in the now, and to follow your dreams. To actively participate in manifesting your dreams to the material plane. Life may not always give you what you want but it always gives you what you need. I see cosmic giggles lol :) I consent in consensual reality.

I completed my first Vipassana, ten day silent meditation in MD. I hope to do another in the next two-three months :)

I backpacked in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam For 3 months. My sister and I work traded in Bangkok Thailand. Some friends and I created and lived in primitive structures on a beach in Koh Rung Cambodia. Three friends and I bought motorcycles and traveled from the North of Vietnam to the South through cities, countryside and visited rural locals on a very raw adventure. After Backpacking I lived in Ho Chi Minh Vietnam teaching English for 7 months.

I lived in Big Sky Montana and rode some epic Backcountry Lines.

Drove across the U.S. twice in a Van I cleaned out and built a bed, cabinets, dry kitchen and artist sketch table.

Spent some time exploring the Yucatan Peninsula and Belize.

I grew up scuba diving and have been to the Bahamas, 1000 Islands, Maine, Cape Hatteras and hope to do some more!
