CURRENT MISSION

Find comfy couches all over the world and share mine

ABOUT ME

I am not a huge fan of abouts...I prefer the old fashioned way of getting to know people. But because that might be fairly unreasonable, i'll attempt.
I spend most of my time doing photography, which makes me happy. I like creating things and learning new things. Experiencing things that I never have before, make me pretty happy too. I love exploring and wandering around places that I have never been, with or without a camera. I have a twin, so by nature I like to do things with other people. I am pretty content just cooking dinner with friends and hanging out, but am also open for any adventure. And I have never seen the show, but apparently I remind people of a warm fuzzy version of Daria.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While traveling in China with some friends, we stopped at a dam that had just been built in a really remote area near Tibet. It was incredibly windy. Because of this, we could stand at the edge of the dam (there weren't any walls protecting us from falling to our death) and lean forward with the wind pushing us back and could balance right on the edge, leaning forward. It felt like I was weightless, floating above a giant drop down to the water. It was equally amazing when I tried spitting and watched it soar through the air at ridiculous speeds. Not very ladylike I realize, but sometimes one must forgo manners for such experiences.
