CURRENT MISSION To survive my year in Australia! ABOUT ME I am a strange mix of worlds - I love surfing and the culture that goes with it, but the majority of my life I've been involved with the goth culture. So I'm sort of a mix of those two things, if you can picture it. I am an artist and a writer; hopefully one day I can make a living at it. For now I am planning to go back to school after my trip to Australlia in a field to do with animals, another strong passion of mine. My main passions are surfing, books, and animals, though music comes close as well. PHILOSOPHY I think you should make the most of life, try not to waste it on things you don't enjoy. I think being happy is more important than making money, though it does help. I feel like if you want to do something enough, you can always find a way.
