About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be a light for the people I encounter, because you never know what your smile can do to someone's day

ABOUT ME

Always vulnerable section because you never want to sound pretentious. But I am a very open person and love the opportunity to learn things from people, be that by observing them or talking with them. As much as I love that kind of thing, I am in love with music is all aspects (voice, instruments, and dance) I find so much joy in expression. Singing for me is my favorite outlet I believe, followed closely by dance. Actually, expression in general, being able to be true to yourself is very important to me.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is very much like my mission. I try to live my life with little worry, but aware of what can happen and prepare for things. I love to be fun and make people happy. My happiest moments are when the people I'm surrounded by are happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed one time and it was a really cool experience, and I loved that there was another surfer who was there also and we were able to cook and share food culture between all the nations in the home (American, Hungarian, German, and Venezuelan). That was an awesome week!

Interests

Music, singing, dance, expression of all facets, talking with people about random things, SLEEPING, exploring, zoning out and thinking about life (lol)

Music, Movies, and Books

I've never really been an avid movie viewer, but I enjoy lots of different types for sure. My choice in music varies greatly also, depends on who I'm with and what the mood calls for and very open to new artists! You can't count something out if you've never given it a shot, right? Books, I don't read as much as I should, but I enjoy books that make me think. The last actual book I read was 'The Shack' by William Paul Young, which I found to be very interesting. I'm currently reading Machiavelli's The Prince when I have the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I performed in a Russian circus and then rode the Transiberian railroad from Novosibirsk to Moscow (those were both pretty trippy experiences)

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach, I can attempt to help people to be more honest with themselves. Learn, I am willing to learn anything, I love it so much. Share, my spirit is probably the best thing I can think of to share.
