CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish, Explore Europe, Do Art! Learn who I am...

ABOUT ME

I am a 20 year old female student studying art, architecture and spanish at the University of Minnesota in the States. I have lived in the United States my whole life, but the travel bug was ignited in me... right now I am experiencing my dream of seeing europe and taking in everything that I can. I am a very fun-loving, sarcastic, excellent-listerner and kind person. I am sometimes come off as shy, but once I am over the introductory phase, I am full of life!

Don’t Judge A Book By Its Cover. If You TRY To Get To Know Me, You Will Learn All About Me. Promise.

& ART => my passion ♥

PHILOSOPHY

"A Wise Girl Kisses But Doesn't Love, Listens But Doesn't Believe, And Leaves Before She Is Left."
~ Marilyn Monroe

Count Your Garden By The Flowers, Never By The Leaves That Fall
Count Your Days By Golden Hours, Don’t Remember Clouds At Al
Count Your Night By Stars, Not Shadows
Count Your Years With Smiles, Not Tears
Count Your Blessings, Not Your Troubles
Count Your Age By Friends, Not Years

"Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth."
~Souza

"Happiness is a journey, not a destination."
~Souza

“Happiness Is Not Stopping To Think If You Are”

“If I Knew What I Was Really Like, Chances Are I’d Like Myself Much Better Than I Do.”

"Life is a series of thousands of tiny miracles."
~Mike Greenberg

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart"
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

"PEACE. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart."

"Peace begins with a smile"
~Mother Theresa

STARBUCKS, The Way I See It #76
The Irony Of Commitment Is That It's Deeply Liberating - In Work, In Play, In Love. The Act Frees You From The Tyranny Of Your Internal Critic, From The Dear That Is To Dress Itself Up And Parade Around As Rational Hesitation. To Commit Is To Remove Your Head As The Barrier Of Your Life."
~Anne Morris

"The world is a book, and those who do not travel, read only a page."
~ Saint Augustine

“We Are Free To Refuse To Be Hurt By A Spiteful Remark Or Malicious Action”
