About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking a place to stay while in Austin, TX from March 12, 2014 to March 16, 2014!

ABOUT ME

I have an appreciation for art, meaningful conversation, wining, dining and people watching. Sometimes it is the small things that make life worth living.

I don't believe in coincidences because the universe is connected. We were meant to find each other at a given moment in time. Afterall, everything happens for a reason, you just don't realize it until you look back...

PHILOSOPHY

My goal is to travel to every single continent before the age of 30. I have 2 left to discover: South America and Antartica.

I like to live in the moment because tomorrow may never come.

Forever on the search for paradise...
