Hi!
My name is Isabel Otis. A freelance artist and model, and blogger. I paint, draw, make films. I'm trying to get into sculpting. I am looking for new people to meet, new places to see, new things to try, and new things to learn.
I am backpacking the west coast with my dog right now. Traveling in an RV with some cool friends is what it's turned into.
I have a travel blog: belleotistravels.com

I was born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in Westfield, NJ. Just finished living in Cape Cod MA and NYC for a bit. Growing up, I never got to travel often, so that fed my urge to explore. I've been on road trips across the country to LA north and south route. FL from NJ. Just this past summer was able to leave the country and go explore the cultures and scenery of Paris and Taoromina. I'm open minded, honest, and down to earth. I love to hear others peoples stories - they are so interesting to me. I like to make films about them everywhere I go.

Recently, I've been backpacking down the west coast. I started in Seattle, made my way to rainbow, have been hanging out in LA for a while, and will make it down to Slab City CA, by the Salton Sea in SoCal. Now I'm in an RV with two other dope people. It's been weeks living like this.

Rocky was a stray dog I found in the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. She is very sweet and loyal and I promise you'll love her.

Let me know if you'd like to know more ! Can't wait to meet ya. Good vibes your way

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stayed in slab city.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love experiencing, so anything you have to share I'll love to hear about

I'm really good at playing the drums, skateboarding, making films, and especially- thinking about deep shit. Always looking for people to be in my films.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd love to help out. Anything you need from washing the dishes, doing your laundry, helping out tidy up, or just to have someone to spend time with, I'd love to be there. I'm looking to establish lasting friendships with the people I meet while I surf. I hope I can add something to your life after I leave, as I know you will add something to mine.
