ABOUT ME
What I truly want from my life is to look back and know that I lived courageously and to have made many real friendships. I think the people we surround ourselves with and the connections we make are imperative. I want to have professional success but being surrounded by lovely and magical people means everything to me.
I'm always up for adventure and I will most definitely be the first one to suggest going dancing on a Tuesday night. As cliche as it is, life is short. I believe in taking chances and saying, "fuck it".
Creativity is my life blood. Without it, my life is very plain.
PHILOSOPHY
"I realize that if I were stable, prudent and static; I’d live in death. Therefore I accept confusion, uncertainty, fear and emotional ups and downs, because that’s the price I’m willing to pay for a fluid, perplexed and exciting life."
— Carl Rogers
"Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth simply opens up to the rain and soaks it all in."
— Thich Nhat Hanh
"Develop an interest in life as you see it; the people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself."
— Henry Miller
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am a couch surfing virgin!
Interests
I have a wide array of interests that grows every year. I like to keep things interesting, having a hobby is very important to me. I try my best to be a well-rounded individual.
When I am at my best, I paint using acrylics. Usually what comes out is "abstract"...I do it for the fun of it.
I also love writing and hope to spend a lot more time doing it in the next year.
I'm in the process of creating a website that celebrates the arts. Involving music, fashion and media. I cannot wait to get it going and see where it goes.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is the essence of my being. I spend a lot of time hunting down new stuff. My Spotify app is beside me for most of the day. If you are a music lover we will definitely get along!
I love reading but have not spent nearly as much time doing it as I would like....
A book I am currently loving right now is Anatomy of The Spirit by Caroline Myss.
I also love:
The 4-Hour Body by Tim Ferris
Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
The Diary of Anais Nin (all volumes) by Anais Nin
The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Driving outside the city limits in the middle of the night with my ex-boyfriend.
It was a full moon that night and we got out of the car completely naked like crazy fools and had so much fun.
