I am an internal expression-er, early morning practitioner of admiration, a lover, a brain sanctuary of language(words and linguistics...not fluent in any language but english..YET), a poetess, and constantly taking guesses on how to be human.
While not traveling or studying, I occupy my time with eating plants and making pots of tea. Perhaps dancing with necks and books in my own artist distillery- I hope for you to join me, dabble in my thoughts, and let's clash our cooking pots together to create a new recipe.
I love to listen, to observe. I am calm and empathetic.
I love reading and being in nature.
Simplicity, genuine conversations, laughter, imagination.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To expand my collective community! To see the world! To remind myself with real life examples of the beauty of this planet and humanity.

I enjoy stirring nut butters to get the right oil to solid ratio.
