About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to dance in every country in the world!

ABOUT ME

i'm a pretty down to earth girl who likes to walk around town and find random hole in the wall shops and resturants that are fun and taste good :) I love languages and history and love to go to museums when i find them. I'm in love with the counter culture, and indie rock.

I have a hard time keeping interest in one thing, but that's because I want to learn how to do everything!

All my friends have told me i'm very random and weird. but in a good way! just makes things more interesting, right? ;P

PHILOSOPHY

You can't go through life regretting the past. Move on and look to the future. Things will always look greener on the other side if you don't get over the past :)

My Europe Trip! :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love couchsurfing! It helps feel the culture of a country you visit more! I hate just doing touristy stuff, and CS helps me get away from them!
