CURRENT MISSION

While finishing my studies at Smith, I want to couchsurf the Eastcoast and then someday host my own surfers when I have my OWN place!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very sensitive, loving, vulgar, and impulsive young woman with a whole lotta dreams and aspirations in my idealistic head. A bit queer, in both definitions, and by both I am also one way and the other. Without a doubt, if I have a conversation with you longer than a couple minutes and you ask me something about "myself", I will tell you of my hunger for poetry. I am a recent graduate of Smith College where I studied English Lit and Portuguese Brazilian Studies(and poetry concentration).

PHILOSOPHY

The most amazing and the most tragic events of your life are unexpected, they will change and shape you into a rounder and more whole person, and I only write these things through experience.
