ABOUT ME

I'm a fairly mellow chick who can do a MEAN James Brown impersonation. Studying fashion trends is a serious hobby of mine and there is nothing better than speeding down a really steep hill on a sort of mediocre road bike because you're not willing to drop $1000+ on "proper" equipment. I create, I share and I observe.

PHILOSOPHY

The value you place on yourself is the value the world will give you. If you want to be compensated for your talents - value your time. If you want to be a valuable business - solve valuable problems. If you want to be a valuable lover - give your love away with no expectation of return. If you want be valuable to yourself - choose people who do the same.

- Jackson Kiddard

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CSurfing in Thailand. Every morning our host would play multiple versions of "qué será será" and serve us dragon fruit on his immaculate floor. His kindness and willingness to welcome us into his home was something I had never thought possible and something I hope to return to each and every person that enters my home.
