About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy my time here with good people.

ABOUT ME

I love reading and learning, and I love music. I like to be feminine, but not high-maintenance. My favorite nights are spent cooking good food with a good drink, then relaxing with a good book, a good movie, or good music.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a watcher.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
