ABOUT ME

First off, I'd like to say I'm a pretty loveable gal... I'm very easy going and can adapt to most any situation you put me in. I love challenging myself, testing my limits, pushing my boundaries, and yet finding that perfect balance between "too much" and "not enough"...People that know me say that I am an old soul and I believe that is true. I love learning from others and have absorbed a lot of knowledge for my 27 years of life... My curious mind never stops... I want to see everything, feel everything and experience as much as I can in life.... I am a very passionate woman... a FIRE woman... I am a true ARIES by definition.... Born leader and very compassionate towards others...... One of my passions is my love to create ART through the camera lens... Either by me as the photographer capturing another beautiful image or me as the "muse/model".... I do like to party but lately my ideal good time is being out in nature, creating art or putting together a photoshoot... I also enjoy playing guitar and listening to all kinds of music... Surfing has been really therapeutic for me as well...I am a really awesome body healer a.k.a. Massage Therapist.. I love helping people relax and feel rejuvenated through the art of massage... I am a free spirit...a gypsy.... I have just moved to New Zealand and am currently living in Dunedin... If you'd like to know more... Just ASK. :)

PHILOSOPHY

A few quotes that pretty much sum up my philosophy on life and most things in general:

...my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. In school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life. ♥‎

"You have to have confidence in your own ability to be
able to go it alone, to go against what the rest of the culture is doing."

"To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle"- Don Juan

"the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
Jack Kerouac

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couch and guest room available, but would prefer to meet for coffee first...
My couch is readily available to kind, interesting and compatible travelers. Since this is my first experience on this site, I have not actually offered my couch to anyone here yet, but have offered my couch to travelers without using this site... I love meeting new people and helping others on their journeys... Cheers!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Other than couch surfing with friends of mine or family, I don't have much couch surfing experience at this point... That shall change come next year when I start my journey to New Zealand.
I have offered my couch to a few random people that have become some of my best friends... My current roommate actually moved to San Diego from Philly last year and started couching surfing with me... a few months later, she moved in with me. :) 3 years later, we are still best friends.
