CURRENT MISSION

to live life as an adventure....

ABOUT ME

I am a laid back, friendly, easy-going person. I like living communally, I actually prefer the energy, hustle and bustle of living with other like-minded people, over living in some solitary 1-bedroom apartment. I've lived in a variety of living situations, including some dives, but I figure it's all an adventure, and tend not to get worked up over little things. I believe it's all about respecting your home and those you share it with.

PHILOSOPHY

I am ecologically conscious, inclusive in my thinking with a strong social conscious and belief in social justice issues.
