ABOUT ME

My name is Cassia and I am an artist, activist, fire dancer, poet, novelist, animist, essayist, dreamer, adventure junkie, rogue and bookworm. I love coffee, wine, music, long conversations, urban exploring, sunsets, staying up late, the jungle, the old traveling carnivals and basically everything in between.

PHILOSOPHY

'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.' - Mark Twain
