CURRENT MISSION

To discover the right way to eat a crepe!

ABOUT ME

I've lived in Los Angeles all my life. I love
the energy, the sun, the creativity. But since I was little I've wanted to explore the world around me, and I'm currently a week into my SOLO backpacking trip (yes, my bag really is JUST 20 pounds) and I love everything about it.

I know I do not have any references, because I just started out, but please believe me when I say I am really easy to get along with, and I'll probablly help you clean your dishes or house. I always leave everything better than I found it. I like to have fun but I don't usually get drunk, which means you won't have any messes to clean up after :)

I am 20, most people think I am older because I can actually hold a deep conversation and add to it too.

I love to read, I write poetry. I like to sit outside in the rain and soak it all in. I will do things no one else will do and not care what people think of me. Nothing too weird though. I love being on my own while traveling because you have the chance to open yourself up to meeting so many new people and having so many cool experiences you wouldn't get otherwise.

No matter who you are, what you do, and what you like/dislike, I'm positive we can find common ground and have a great time!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to make a difference. I don't want to live it just for myself. Why are we here if not to love others? I feel compelled to change people's lives for the better.

Teach, Learn, Share

Laugh, love. Marvel at the small things. Never take people you love for granted.

You always, ALWAYS have a choice about your attitude.

I would love to learn about other's religons, ways of loving, laughing, eating, singing, and viewing the world. I want to immerse myself in something other than myself. :)
