About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Where there is love, there is life." -Gandhi

ABOUT ME

Im all for:
Psychology
Art(oil painting)
Nutella
Pine scented candles
Almost all music
Singing in the shower
Dancing when no one is watching or when everyone is watching(depending on my mood)
Peacocks
Sunflowers
Orange(the color, not the fruit)

I can't seem to ever stop talking. It's both a blessing and a curse but don't be fooled by my incessant talking, I also love to listen to people and hear their stories and ideas. I'm weird and quirky, a little crazy (in a good way!). I love people and animals. I'll try almost anything at least once. I like to listen to music and sing (very loudly) when I'm in the shower or car. I love to eat good food (who doesn't, right?) I have a passion for helping others. I'm open-minded and non-judgmental. I try to understand the world from many different perspectives. I'm an optimist. I think most humans are inherently good. I'm honest, even when it doesn't benefit me to be so.

PHILOSOPHY

Optimism, patience and motivation can get you anywhere you want to go!

Music, Movies, and Books

I just finished the book "Eat Pray Love" and I LOVED it. I like all sorts of books from romance novels to medical mysteries. Well music is a very important part of my life. I can find a song from every genre of music that I like. I just love MUSIC. I listen to rock, pop, hip hop, rap, latino, country, classical, soundtrack, blues, jazz, alternative, and reggae, just to name a few. I also really like cinema. Recently, I've really been into foreign films. In Baltimore, there is a foreign films theatre that I like to go to! But I also like almost all mainstream movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping in Latvia! It was one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn another language, how to make international food dishes, how to play the harp or cello, how to tango, and almost anything else.

I can teach you how to do some simple dance moves in salsa, merengue, bachata, swing, and waltz. I can tell you all about psychology. I could teach you about oil painting.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share traveling experiences and teach you a little Ukrainian, Italian, and Jamaican Patois.
