Love love love until it hurts.

I am obsessed with poetry.
I am an existentialist.

Check out my poetry project, where I write my poetry on skin, if you like: www.skinonsundays.com

I also just published my second book, a poetry coloring book called Seasons of Yourself.

If you want to get to know me more, I have a letter that explores the mezcla of the exterior world with my interior world: http://tinyletter.com/jessandthesea

My dog Luna and I have been together for 12 years. She knows me better than anyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is so good for the soul.

If my brain is a factory of cogwheels, then traveling keeps the wheels moving to create the perfect environment inside and outside for me to grow.

Interests

the human experience, the sea, dogs, hammocks, literature, and going deep.

“If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next—if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions—you'd be doomed. You'd be ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the morning. You'd never love anyone, ever again. You'd never dare to.” Margaret Atwood

"Never turn your back on Fear. It should always be in front of you, like a thing that might have to be killed. " Hunter S Thompson

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.” Tom Robbins
