I wish I knew how to describe myself accurately. I can so easily see and write about the world, but turning that lens inward is not so easy. I am a simple girl with a huge heart. I am nothing without those I care about. My friends and family are my world. I have always been both introvert and extrovert, right brained and left. I love people and getting to know them, but I also love spending time by myself. I like to go out and be social, but I can easily spend a night reading, writing or painting. I am addicted to my camera. I see the world best through its lens. The key is finding a balance between that lens and living in the real world. True to my name I'm an open book. If there is anything you need or want to know just ask.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew up in one of the most beautiful places, but ever since I was young I have had the travel bug. I want to see what other beauty there is out there in the world. I can't appreciate who I am or where I've been til I've met others with different lives and lifestyles and seen and experienced the other cultures out there beyond my little mitten.

Interests

I'm super artsy. I love photography and photo editing. I have taught myself how to use photoshop and lightroom. I like to paint and draw and write (thus graduating with a degree in Creative Writing). I love movies, but I'm really movie deprived so I always try to see new movies. I love to travel and want to eventually see the world. I'm doing my best to see a little bit at a time. I love to go on adventures and see new places and do new things.
