CURRENT MISSION

To never settle for what the world has to offer by settling in myself.

ABOUT ME

Being honest is one of my most valued virtues. Passion is necessary, determination is a must.

Aside from all that, I'm just really trying to figure out how to live out loud, fully, so that I can't regret the morning before it comes - "this is your world. shape it or someone else will."

PHILOSOPHY

I push myself to the limits, because I like to see what I'm truly capable of.

I spend a lot of time trying to find what's true in me, and trying to force it to settle down. It'd be a nice change of pace, anyway.

I'm trying to put a lot of positive thoughts out there, if only to reap the best of the world.

Freedom is essential to happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm usually up for making time to grab a coffee, a good meal, or a good drink. I do miss traveling very much, though, and am likely to use couchsurfing more now as a way to help me decrease the costs associated with travel, enjoy the road trip, and embrace life. Feel free to shoot me a message if you have an experience lying somewhere between all this, though, and I'll consider it!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back then, on long road trips, I visit artists who apologized they couldn't take me drinking because I'm not yet 21. That's okay, I learned I can kick ass in Apples to Apples.

Now I'm 27 - I can drink, swear, and make my own money (and largely support myself): I'm still a chaotic mess with a very charismatic laugh.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took 44 credits in one year, enabling me to graduate college (with HONORS) in 3 years, continuing my streak of being obnoxiously presumptuous and ambitious. I then, in Wonder Woman fashion, completed my Master's degree while working full-time (actually, working like 60 hours a week for about half the degree program). That's two amazing things, but like - guys, I really need to break this ridiculous work/school pattern. Someone stop me. ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: writing, literature, making dairy free and gluten free meals, developing mental health coping mechanisms, assisting with managing stressors, photography and editing said photography on photoshop, modeling tips, nutrition advice. how to sing correctly (classically trained vocalist).

learn: anything that isn't math related. GO. Please inspire me with a greater sense of adventure.

share: photography. foods. laughter. singing. intellectual conversation.
