CURRENT MISSION

To own a couch.

ABOUT ME

This seems to change frequently, but at the moment I'm living abroad in Europe. I grew up in Humboldty County, California right along the Pacific coast. I moved from the ocean side to the rolling green hills, and mountains. Decided to act upon that spark to travel. Yes, I do miss the glorious Pacific Ocean, but cannot complain about what a beautiful place I am living in right now.

I'm an open minded and laid back individual. Something I am learning/ being reminded of is to live in the present and enjoy the flow of life. Being open to growth and different directions.

Random Facts: I have a strange fascination with lavender and good coffee. People fascinate me even more. With this being said, I look forward to meeting you! Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

is dictated through your experiences and an open mind. It is always unravelling and developing in different ways.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walking through Petra in the country of Jordan. An ancient archaeological city.

Swimming in the Mediterranean, Red, and Dead Sea -all in one summer.

swimming in a local river, climbing up a waterfall, perfect summer temperature, eating big juicy black berries along the way, getting to the top and having an amazing view, then climbing through a long tunnel and discovering an enchanted forest.>> Yeah, you'll have to come couch surf in Nor Cal :)

Drinking coffee with my dad. Every time.
