ABOUT ME

Since moving back out west, I'm trying to go by "Naia" as a fresh start sort of thing (Nadia is my birth name). I'm a kid at heart, easy going and very laid back. I'm a pretty goofy person and love being able to laugh at myself. People say they admire my free-spirited nature and feel that I'm easy to talk to and get to know; I'm a very open book! I have a strong desire to travel but I don't get to do it as frequent as I'd like due to life as a "starving artist". I'm also really adventurous and love exploring new places. I'm a passionate person and strive to emit positive energy to those around me. I'm also vegan (for myself, for the animals and for the environment)!

PHILOSOPHY

I need to be happy with what I have and live for experience. If I'm to spend money, I'd want it to be for experiencing something rather than owning something. Dreaming of living that "van life" one day!

I love travel and I feel its essential for my growth. Opening your eyes to new ways of living and placing yourself in the lives of others is truly inspiring. Travel reminds you to live in that childlike state of wonder; constantly curious and always learning, especially being in a place so unfamiliar. Everything is new and you're placed outside of your comfort zone. Isn't that where they say the magic happens? ;)
