CURRENT MISSION

Please do not message me with intentions other than in the spirit of global friendship, this is not a dating app. I hate that I have to say that. 😣

Explore life and learn to shed past resentments as I learn about the world.

ABOUT ME

I've been a nanny, and very much love working with kids. I am an artist. I especially love singing, henna, and painting.
I've lived in Santa Cruz most of my life, had the pleasure of seeing much of the United States, and I've lived in Panama off and on. I look forward to seeing more of this good ship, Earth!
