About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel as much as I'm physically able to document it in drawings, writing, photos, collage. I have a lot of sketchbooks to fill up! Help me do that :)

ABOUT ME

Art is my oxygen other than oxygen itself. I'm a quiet yet friendly person, pretty extroverted, my general at-home hobbies being reading, drawing and writing. I practice yoga and am always out and about soaking up my environment, the sights, the sounds, people watching, or finding the nearest cafe / museum to go to.

PHILOSOPHY

I've lived by the Golden Rule ever since I saw it laminated in gold letters in my teacher's classroom in kindergarten.
Everything I do comes back to me.
Life by default is suffering, so why not do what you can to make it easier for yourself and others?
Do not judge people because they sin differently than you.
I know nothing, and for that reason I am open to learn everything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being my first time on here, not sure how I'd participate, but I am a clean and respectable person and will not want to leave a trace of myself once I am done staying somewhere, if that is a main concern for people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only couchsurfed once and it was in Philly with my partner. Our host was great, I

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not picky when it comes to music, there's too much of it out there and the best kind of music for me is what you can't put a label on. However jazz, blues and folk have been my favorite genres for a while. I prefer live music over anything. That and bookstores. Currently been interested in fiction, graphic novels, and occult literature. Movies I like are conceptual and visually pleasing. I have more favorite filmmakers than movies, like David Lynch, Frederico Fellini, Jodorosky, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scuba diving in Puerto Rico was unlike anything I have ever done. Once I get the chance I will scuba dive some more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn alternative healing, how to sew and make my own clothes, and how to play an instrument, do yoga with someone in the mornings. I like to sing and dance and feel free to be dramatic for the hell of it and to bring people together. I love to cook and bake vegan treats. Let me draw or paint your portrait or let's collaborate on something creative, anything to keep the positive vibrations flowing :)
