About Me

Short Summary:

Embracing the Human Experience through Travel & Passion. Lover. Fighter. Artist. Fan of Costuming, Pubs, Horror, Dancing & Live Music. Student of the Cosmos.

Longer Summary:

I was born and raised in Orlando, FL, but spent a ton of time with family on the Space Coast (Titusville & Cocoa Beach). My town is full of diversity and I feel like there is something here for everyone! I left Orlando in the summer of 2013 and moved to Maine with my boyfriend to take a break from it all. New England was quite an experience. My love of history, architecture and colder weather served me well in the Northern states.

Alas, we came back to Orlando a year later to regroup and focus on our main goal for the next 5-10 years: Full-timing it in an Airstream travel trailer! We are making our way to that moment, but in the meantime, we have a comfy apartment in Orlando that we plan to be at through the rest of 2015 at least.

I am pursuing a small business career in art, and have been actively working in my community to learn more about what it takes to be successful in the art world. So far, so good. I will say that traveling is probably my number one inspiration and I look forward to squeezing in some trips overseas before taking over the US in our aluminum beauty.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After hearing about and reading others' experience, I am hooked! This is exactly what I'm interested in; meeting new people, sharing experiences, etc. This seems so much more fulfilling than a regular hotel.

Interests

TRAVEL! Art of all kinds, live music, vintage & antique home decor, road trips, cozy pubs, jewelry-making, costuming, the ocean, the human mind, the unknown.
