Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To find a mission. Find something to love and enthuse over. I guess this means I'm devoted to exploring my options. Ha :)
ABOUT ME
I'm a thinker... words, emotions, colors, feelings are constantly storming in my mind and being around people I love or find intriguing is the only way I can save myself sometimes. Not that I don't mind being alone of course, I just literally drive myself crazy every now and then. I'm a curious soul, thinking about things that most don't and understanding things some can't.
PHILOSOPHY
Do not fear God,
do not worry about death.
What is good is easy to get,
what is terrible is easy to endure.
If you want to be happy, be.
You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.
–Margaret Young
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm new to this. I joined because I just moved to California and would love to meet people who like to do things and see things like I do. Unfortunately I rent a room in a house so I'm unable to host but I seriously look forward to surfing and hosting as soon as I can!
Interests
I love music, photography, art. I love writing, reading, philosophy. I love shopping, clothes, hair, makeup... I didnt say high end! I LOVE CHEAP. I love meeting people, hearing stories, sharing stories, making others happy. I love living loudly, but I also love sitting quitely and observing.

Music, Movies, and Books
Without music and books, life would be an error. Music and language are such beautiful gifts! I listen to everything... From techno to country. From rock to reggae. From hip hop to the didgeridoo. Like I'm not kidding. I simply adore music.
I'll read anything that you put in front of my face.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've seen beautiful places & I've witnessed happy times! Those, my friend, are amazing things to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
"Our biggest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our biggest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
You are a Child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't be insecure around you. We were born to make magnificent the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fears, our presence automatically liberates others."
