CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to be free from any real home, but to live on the road for a while, visiting friends and just trying to live as freely as possible, meeting influential people where ever I go!

ABOUT ME

I am an optimistic 23 year-old woman who is fierce about living the fullest life possible, trying to stay 'present' for the most of it. There is not a single person that I wouldn't love to get to know, no matter how different they are then me. I think it is in our differences that we learn and experiences the truest reality of the world we live in.

PHILOSOPHY

I love to love....life, people, my work. I am very passionate about everything I do. I try to live simply and give my time to things I think need it. I think we need to change the way we live in order to change the world but everyone has their own 'way' that they follow. I try not to judge other's ways but sometimes I look around and go crazy with all the superficial crap we have in the US.
