CURRENT MISSION

To hear your story and write my own.

ABOUT ME

Recently stepped away from a hectic time in my life, and have been surrounding myself with life and positive people for the past year.

I may seem reserved but I have a lot to say! The world and all its people are living art to me, and I love seeing new places and meeting interesting faces.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Texas at Austin, and I am taking some time off to travel in Europe and get my thoughts together. I just love to experience and to feel, and meeting new and fun faces. Still looking for my purpose on this earth, but until then, I am getting myself into all of the trouble I can handle, and recording everything I see. I am learning a few new languages, being trained in improv and enjoying living at a wonderful co-op in Austin.

It's my goal to travel to at least two new places a year, and always try to see life from a new perspective, even if for only a second.

Oozing with creativity and gentleness, I am so glad I am where I am right now. Austin has changed my life, and now the world seems soft enough for me to jump out and touch.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to see things from a different perspective.

As long as you are always moving and growing, life will come to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently living in Ulm, Germany, and really getting to know the culture of Germany up close and personal.
Went to Strasbourg Film Festival to see my best pal in her film.
Drove through the infamous Black Forrest.
Turned 21 in Las Vegas! Saw the Bellagio fountain at night. Sat in the Steps of Circus Circus while listening to "Born to be Alive"
Seen the Golden Gate bridge and California.
Walked through China Town and at at the Sushi Boat!
Walked the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Drove to Orlando in 2 days, visited the east and west coast via a single interstate, met Mickey Mouse again.

many others, and they probably all happened in California :D
