CURRENT MISSION

To seek out the fleeting sparks of wonder and beauty in the world.

ABOUT ME

I am creative, honest, bright, passionate, and unintentionally funny. I am very introspective and have a strong sense of self that I try to authentically live out in everything that I do. I do not wish to settle for mediocrity, I want to constantly dare to seek out meaning and inspiration in each moment. I don't believe in work-life balance, I believe in just life balance filled with many loves and fascinations and extraordinary people. I want to live more harmoniously with the environment and connect more with the community around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Be present in everything you do and choose. Keep meaningful connections with others and always be intensely captivated by the world you immerse yourself in. I love that our lives can change with every breath we take.
"Find that pursuit that will energize you, consume you, become an obsessions. Each day you must rise with a restless enthusiasm. If you don't, you are working"

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Would like to start couchsurfing once I move to Brighton and get my own place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never couchsurfed before, but would like to start. I have travelled a lot, but this is my first backpacking journey.

Интересы

I love art and travel. I spend most of my time at home deep in visual experimentation with many art and design projects. When I am abroad, I am obsessed with travel photography. Sandwhiched between these two loves are friends and family, work and volunteering, and healthy baking, swimming, and biking. I am obsessed with names. I love wandering through flea markets and thrift stores reliving the history behind objects. I love collecting ephemera and playing scrabble and long journeys on trains.

Музыка, кино и книги

Movies: any documentary or low-budget Indie film
Music: too many songs; slow folky music with strong piano and violin instrumentals, most movie soundtracks and original scores. Right now Passenger, Gabrielle Aplin, Bastille, Bon Iver. Always Sarah McLachlan, Spice Girls.
Books: I like books with pictures, How-to books, books on religion and philosophy, illustrated children's books, autobiographies...

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

1) In Nepal, I went out to explore the terraces in the Kathmandu Valley. I walked down into the fields filled with wheat swaying in the wind amongst old woman harvesters and I was taken aback by the serenity.
2) Sleeping under the stars in the hottest place on Earth - the Danakil Depression.
3) Venturing into Dhaka's slums to return portraits I had taken of families and coming across so many familiar faces and new friends.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I know a lot about globalization and the interconnections feeding one's person's influence on another anywhere in the world, and the world of poverty. I have seen many things while living in developing countries to share. I am a great artist, especially collage, design tools, and sketchbooking. I also love to bake healthy goodies.
