About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore my planet and my soul

ABOUT ME

I can rarely sit still and I have a feeling that every second of my life must have a purpose. Whether that purpose is getting to the top of a mountain or allowing my mind to wander in search of new possibilities.

I like doing anything that ends with "ing", anything outdoors, traveling, dancing, meeting people, seeing places, learning cultures, and taking lots of pictures, coming up with plans for the future and living one day at a time.
...The list of my interests is endless because it includes 99% of everything that I've ever done. And if something is not on the list - it means I haven't done it yet, and - yes - I absolutely want to.

I love trying new things and pushing myself outside of my comfort zone, because I feel that this is the only way one can develop and learn. I love a personal challenge and that is what drives me to do anything and everything that is physically, mentally, or spiritually captivating.

I have to dedicate a short paragraph to my dog - Roxy. She is a 2-year old Vizsla (sporting/hunting breed) and she is the love of my life. She is my running, camping, biking, and anything else that I can possibly include her in - partner. And always - my cuddlebug.

I am a true introvert with a desperate love for people. I am shy but very direct. I enjoy my independence but I desire to share it with others. I am developing a deep (but still undefined) spirituality and a self-awareness, and I want to learn to express it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never "couch surfed" - but I want to finally experience it!!!
