ABOUT ME

Dreamer. Scholar. Artist.
Absolute owner of my own creative madness.

I'm a curious kid, but an old soul. Everyone thinks i'm older than I am. I find the most joy in creation- from mother earth or human hands, which draws me to the visual arts and nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Kind of a natural buddhist, I find truth in both happiness and suffering.

When all else fails, I breath!

As a toddler, my Mom asked me where I came from, and I told her "God's house in Mexico, where the walls were painted like Rainbows." I don't know if I have ever been there, but this is a place that is always inside of me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A Road Trip with my Dad when I was 17. We went from Naples, Italy to Barcelona, Spain and then a spontaneous ferry ride back to Rome. We met the most hilarious argentinians who shared their yerba mate. Everyone drank and sang songs all night. It was gorgeous and proved that flexibility while traveling opens doors for such amazing opportunities and different ways to see the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a licensed cosmetology but I love cutting hair the most. I can give pretty killer hand massages, and love mixing up natural remedies!

If you can tell jokes, I will laugh at them forever.

I'd love to learn more about printmaking, an art process I just started focusing on about 6 months ago and really fell in love with. I'd love to learn more about the city of Amsterdam and the Dutch consciousness.
