"Happiness will find you when you stop hiding." Jean-Michel Basquiat

I've been traveling full-time since Feb 1, 2023; planning to be in Ireland for a while :) suggestions and adventure invites are always welcome.

I'm a writer currently working on my craft in Ireland (is there a better place to study literature? I think not). Poetry has a special place in my heart, but I also write prose, short stories, and creative nonfiction. I've finally decided to take it seriously, so that's the journey I'm on currently. Communicating a genuine human experience is what I strive for. That being said, please feel free to invite me to open mics or other creative spaces; it's always a pleasure to connect with other artists.

I love to learn: about people, the world around me, foods, etc. The chance to learn new things and have fun doing it is what really excites me. Having the opportunity to create an environment where people feel safe to be themselves is something I cherish.

I'm just as much an indoor person as I am an outdoor one, ambivert lol hiking and long walks are just as appealing as a day spent indoors binge-watching TV. I'm more talkative some days than others. So much of what I enjoy on any given day just depends on how I feel. I don't smoke at all, but I will give you a light.

Please keep conversations and expectations friendly, I'm not interested in using this as a dating app.

Album currently on repeat: Unreal Unearth
Last movie I watched: Sherlock Holmes and the House of Fear (YouTube) / Barbenheimer double feature (theaters)
Books I'm reading: Bhagavad Gita; Hood Feminism; The End of Everything

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

People make the world beautiful, and I'm looking forward to making new friends and sharing new experiences.

Интересы

My interests are many; one of my favorite things about myself is my ability to find common ground with just about anyone. One of my favorite things to do is learn so any time I can expand a skill I already have or pick up a new one, I'm having a great time. Formula 1 is my favorite sport, and I will bore you to death about Supply Chain and Logistics if you let me.
