My fiance and I have been living small for about a year. We decided it was time to get out of the rent and mortgage trap that is life, and we bought a camper to live in until we can build ourselves a tiny home with our two kitties and dog! We are incredibly adamant about nutrition and local subsistence farming, and have a small backyard garden that we have been learning with.
I have been doing photography for about 7 years now, and love it! I get to meet so many new people and I'm always making new friends! Art photography is my niche, however, to make money I focus on weddings and engagament sessions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We also have a growing interest in traveling (before we have kids and stuff), so we have been proactive in that manner. Our friends traveled to South Carolina and did the whole couch surfing thing (and said it was awesome), so we decided to give it a try!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I've met the love of my life and we've been together for 8 years (since we were 14). So, we have surpassed a lot trials growing up. Every single day I think to myself how amazing it is to work hard to have someone so wonderful in your life, and it be worth every second of good and bad. That's amazing to me.

As for something selfless, I'd say that I've rescued loads of animals and either helped them on their way or found them loving homes, including mine. A special shout out to my boy Bones the cat...

Teach, Learn, Share

Every day I am learning to be more patient and understanding, empathetic and altruistic. I'm learning to connect with my inner and outer self, and to appreciate life and what it brings instead of fighting it every step of the way. If there is anything that I can bank on, it that everything happens for a reason. I want to spread this ideology with others to help them heal and live happily!
