Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To dance my way through life, picking people up on the way and meeting others who have a thirst for creativity, life and traveling.
ABOUT ME
I just returned from living in Bordeaux, France for a semester to study Art. There is art everywhere- from people's faces and expressions to the way the paint peels off of the old front doors of the apartments. I want to continue finding beauty and art everywhere, which involves seeing new places, meeting new people and getting into some (good) trouble. Now I am back in the goole ole US of A, living in Isla Vista, CA. I am in my last year of school at UC Santa Barbara and really looking forward to the next year of living in my little incubator before...yikes.. I have to step in the "real world."
PHILOSOPHY
The most important thing: breath. After that everything else falls into place.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love the idea of a makeshift community and finding comfort in new and strange places. Couchsurfing is so cool because of this... I embrace this with open arms.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couchsurfed in Europe while I was traveling through France and Spain.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
So many things to see and do! Everyday I realize how much there is for me to know and see- but so far:
Feeding elephants in Thailand
Getting flashed by a ladyboy (trany) in Chang Mai
Eating dinner with a rural village family in Thailand
Dancing until 6 a.m. in Paris
Eating an incredibly decadent and chic French dinner for 3 hours
Sitting on the steps of Sacre Coeur as the sun sets
More to come...

I'd love to cook for you, do yoga with you and run around!
