About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spread the love

ABOUT ME

i love black beans!!! im a free spirit. often open to anything that won't kill me. i love to have great long conversations with strangers. i ask too many questions. i love nature. i love taking adventures. i love to smile and dance! i'm still looking for my path on this world but i think it involves serving humanity.

i want to meet people and be real. i like to say the things that i feel without too much censoring. i think life is better lived simply. and from that gives way to happiness. i believe we should do the things we want to do.

i hate that life is run by money, but i understand its importance. but because of this everpresent power, i feel that many people choose paths in life that their hearts don't beat for.

i think being called crazy is a compliment. "i want to continue being crazy, living my life the way i dream it, and not the way other people want it to be." p. coehlo

PHILOSOPHY

life is short, live it up!

one of my favorite quotes at the moment: "twenty years from now, you will more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did do." -m. twain

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

only once, first time on allison's couch in santa cruz! It was a great first experience. I really enjoy sc and allison was so welcoming.

update: my second experience was on damon's couch in san francisco. great place and all his friends were super warm. got us hooked on rock band.

numero tres: stan stan stan, he's the man. great spending time with him in the capital city. slacklining for life!
