CURRENT MISSION

To do things.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia USA, where I lived until I was four years old. My family then moved to Sonoma County in California, where I went to primary school and highschool, and discovered all of the things I love to do to. Whenever an opportunity to travel and visit friends arose, my family would travel within the country. But I wanted to travel more. Mucchh more. I started by going to Kodiak Alaska alone to visit my friend at sixteen. Then at eighteen after graduating highschool, I lived with my sister in Melbourne Australia for a few months. That was where my I caught my travel bug, and from then on any opportunity to travel anywhere I took.
I am artistic, adventurous, kind, respectful, generous, energetic, honest and trustworthy...I love learning new things, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures. I value my perspective of life but I also highly value others. If I could travel my whole life, I think I would. Sharing even a little with other people all over the planet makes me feel alive, and purposeful, and more importantly, makes me want others to feel the same. I have a particular trait of appreciating every culture I encounter. Every place. I love it all.
My most recent big adventure was fall 2013— I traveled some of eastern and Central Europe for seventy-two days, and started in Ukraine. From there I headed to Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Czech Republic, Slovakia, a day in Vienna Austria, Hungary, and headed back to Ukraine. Can't express how much I miss Kiev.
In 2014 I traveled to Toronto for a couple short but sweet trips, and a few other places in the US to visit friends.
I moved to Georgia USA via zig-zag road trip in 2014, and had been living in Dahlonega until September 2015. I lived in Atlanta for one year, and now am taking a road trip across the U.S.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is a series of choices, or decisions. You decide to be who you are and believe what you believe, and to be content. It is also important to keep in mind that you affect everyone you meet--we all leave little impressions of ourselves everywhere, and have an impact on the whole world, even in little ways; so it is important to remember that who you decide to be will affect others lives.

DISCLAIMER
I am very open and kind, but please do not message me to "be friends" unless you will be actively traveling in my area and want to meet a local. (Atlanta, Cumming, Gainesville, Dahlonega) I am unlikely to reply if you have zero references or friends or a minimally filled out profile, few to zero pictures, or no verification. A minimal profile WITH verification, I will consider it.
(I am going to get mine eventually; probably if I start hosting.)
And also, please tell me about yourself if you do message me. Take into consideration I can accommodate a meeting far better if you communicate with me in advance. I would greatly appreciate it. :)
