About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Grab Life by the Balls. Hopefully :)

ABOUT ME

I am a girl who dreams of breaking out of her damn shell or bubble! I dream of traveling the world. I have a love/hate relationship with religions, not the people themselves but the ideologies set by others so long ago. They both fascinate me and repel me. It's a passion of mine to learn religions.

I also love Art! I love looking at it, making it, touching it, interpreting it, etc. I make my own art, I experiment with mediums, and in the end hope to elevate my skills as much as possible. I love learning therefore my goal is get a master and hopefully a doctorate. I also want to travel the world, which is why I joined this site. ( A girl can dream!) I tend to be on the shy side in the beginning but then my true happier self comes out to play. Hope that I meet tons of people that will learn something from me and vice versa!!!.....

I tend to be spacey also and I have a good heart. Now is the time in my life that I welcome in the world!!

PHILOSOPHY

I have learned through the quick hardships life has thrown at me:

Life is short, let go of fear, people experience loss and life differently.
Don't judge by a book by its cover.

There are more but I have trouble following these sometimes but, damn, I try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have never surfed but I have hosted.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never surfed but I would like to! My first experience was two Canadian Hitchhikers and while living with my brother, an adventurous individual, I was happy to host anyone that my brother invited. Meeting all kinds of couchsurfers brings their respective cultures to your doorstep :) yay!

Interests

Painting, Interior Design, Art History, Giving Advice, meeting new people, Create and Experiment with Art. Traveling. Curiosity of the Occult and all religions. almost overpowering interest to learn different cultures, especially the ancient and their practices. I enjoy good food and drinks. I can be an adventurous eater. I hope to be a yoga freak! but totally out of shape. I love music. going to music festivals is probably the best.
