CURRENT MISSION

Backpack my way around Europe, and meet a long lost friend in India this summer!

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm 19, a free spirit who is currently being contained. Hopeful, life expectant. Trying to be as grounded and mindful as I can. Very curious, and as a result, willing to try new things- especially food! I love music, laughter, life, poetry, and this beautiful earth!

PHILOSOPHY

I am a very open-minded and accepting person. I believe in a lifestyle of harmony, sustainability and simplicity. I see value and pain and hope in everyone, and it is beautiful!
