CURRENT MISSION

To collect artistic inspiration from around the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm laid back, but I know how to have a good time. I'm quick to laugh, make friends and try new things. I've always been fascinated by other cultures, customs and people different from myself. I'm a firm believer that a person should never stop learning, and I try to live every day in betterment and with an open mind.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life knowing that it isn't unbreakable, unchangeable or irreversible. I learn from anyone willing to teach, and I make an effort to truly experience life no matter where I am.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I love traveling, it's my personal goal to visit all 50 states. I'm at 43 right now, so only a few more!!

I'm also SUPER crafty/artistic! I'm an artist by nature and 'profession' and I love to make art, teach others to express themselves through art and bring general creativity to those around me. I love trying new things; new food, new places and new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love black and white movies. Sometimes I think I should have been born in the 1940's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most beautiful moments in my memory is standing on a cliff overlooking one of the biggest glaciers left in the United States. I was up in Alaska on a road trip and I remember just standing there in awe, breathing in the crisp air and wondering how something so huge could be there for so long that it's been seen by more generations than I can imagine.
My second would be when I was in Bangalore, India. The overall culture, colors, spices and smells reminded me that beauty is sometimes found in the most unlikely of places. While I was there I remember driving down an alley in a rickshaw and seeing children playing with broken plastic chairs, mud gathered around their bare feet and faces and smiling like they had never been happier. I think that's the moment that I, for the first time ever, truly realized what it meant to be joyful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook, laugh and swap over-exaggerated stories.
