Helloooo there!

I'm a really laid back person, I've been told it's really easy for people to be themselves around me. I love music, and art in general, I'm also a film buff! I could talk for hours about art, about life. I play guitar, write poetry, do photography, paint, draw, make collages, and I'm also starting a podcast soon! Combining my love for art and human connection.

I try to live a simple life, be happy, be kind to people, to love people, to love the small things in life. I took care of my mom from the time I was 17 until 24, and literally had no time to travel or do much of anything. All my time was spent watching over her. Now that I'm free from that responsibility I'm extremely eager to travel and live life as passionately as I can.

I'm a pretty good listener, I have the ability to put myself in others shoes and understand how they feel and where they're coming from. I'm also quite sensitive, this benefits my art but also can be overwhelming at times. I love nature, I love being out and smelling the fresh air, hearing the birds, and I have a special connection to trees. I love meeting new people, and talking to people. I find that I leave a piece of myself with everyone I interact with, even if it's just for a brief moment.

I am an open book so don't hesitate to ask me anything!
