Hiya! I'm a passionate lady who just finished some traveling through Italy for a few months on a solo WWOOF and CS trip. Now, I'm on the move through Europe with my best friend from home until August 17th!

I have no problem cleaning up after myself (I'm the oldest of 3 girls and have lived with 4 roommates), helping around the house, all those fun good-guest things!

Although I love being in social situations like bar hoping, going to dance clubs and what not I also enjoy the quiet times. I love having one on one conversations with others, learning from them, and sharing my own experiences. I believe it is extremely important to never stop learning and the easiest way to do that is by putting yourself out of your comfort zone, talking with others, and challenging yourself.

****MEN of CS please note: I am NOT using this site as a dating service. People often mistake me for being a flirt because I have a very outgoing personality and I have a hard time being mean to people especially those who I don't know well. If you think you're interested in me, say something don't just assume I'm into you as well. I've been assaulted by more than a few men and having another make a move on me really upsets and hurts me. CSing puts women in a very vulnerable situation so please don't take advantage of that. I'm not writing this because I'm vain or scared, but because this has happened already and I fucking hate it.****

PHILOSOPHY

Through the world in which I travel I am endlessly creating myself.

Always leave the earth a better place than when you arrived.

Being spiritual doesn't mean you are always positive, it means you have awareness, fuck outta my face while I balance these energies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode a bus to and from New York City (a 9 hour ride one way) for a day to participate in the People's Climate March which had over 300,000 people from all over the states!

Took a naked swim in Palinuro under the stars with fluorescent phytoplankton :)
