Overview
About Me
I'm not ever very good with the about me section. so lets see, I've traveled to 24 different states but that was as a child so I don't feel like I got to expierence much. I consider myself a nomad/gypsy. I get what I call itchy feet and that's when I feel the need to move and travel. I lived in California all my life up until 2012 in which I tried staying in arizona for a year and a half and it didn't offer me much. I love to work and just need more opportunities, so starting January 2014 I moved to seattle, wa. I had initially visited seattle in 2008 and just fell in love with the city. I get this pull towards certain cities/towns to move to and I put down roots for a while but it dosent last usually more than 5 years, so far as I've noticed. I'm a very open minded person, very resilient, and I love trying new things. I do have my fears but they don't stop me since I do my best to push through them. an example is I am terrified of heights but if I had the chance to zipline, I would. I always want to learn new skills and trades. I love stories. I love haunted places. When I travel I want to immerse myself into the history of the place as well. I love museums, I feel like you get to see into the past in a way you otherwise wouldn't if it wasn't for those people preserving it. I absolutely love animals and kids. There are times that I hang out with children more than adults and that's because I haven't forgotten my inner child, I still dream and use my imagination, I still day dream. most adults have lost that part of them but I have not and so children are fun to play with since they still have all of that. lastly, I do think this is the most important, I believe in magick, faeries, the old gods, and in myself because without all this life would not be nearly as exciting.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I would love to meet new people and establish some good friendships for when I finally leave in 3-5 years to go travel around the world. I want to be able to learn from the locals about the places I want to travel to. for me I want these expierence to have mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. I want to learn things that I would otherwise not be learning in school. school can only teach so much and I'm more of an on hands kinda of person. I want to go places and help people as well. I want to become part of projects that help those in need and learn about those people. I've been in situations where I've been homeless or needed help and was grateful that there have been people who have helped and I want to give back to others.
Interests
I have various interest. I love to cook and bake, if it has a recipe, I can do it. I have yet to have a terrible dish. I love to read, garden, listen to music, travel, drum circles, dancing, hiking, camping, any kind of games, crocheting, cosplay, beekeeping, arts and crafts. So far there isn't anything I'm not into. There are many things I still wish to learn and have as hobbies like making pottery, beekeeping(currently learning), playing instruments(violin, piano, guitar), salsa dancing (any kind of dancing really), sewing(I would love how to know to make my own clothes), tai chi(any sort of martial art), I really want to learn natural medicine from all around the world from any medicine man/woman who would be willing to teach me and anything anyone is willing to teach me.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like a little bit of everything when it comes to music. I do not discriminate on who made or sings the song. If I like it, I like it. If I don't, I don't. You get it.
Movies. I just like movies but I don't always get to watch them alot. My favorite is practical magic.
Books. I just love to read. I always have a book with me. I read everything from fantasy, sci-fi, horror, mystery, to real life, herbal books, and self help (occansionally).
Teach, Learn, Share
I would love to be more fluent in other languages like German, french, Japanese, and Gaelic. I can teach some crochetting.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Right now I can't offer anything due to not having my own place but I can meet up with people and show them around some amazing places.
