ABOUT ME
A lot has changed since i last surfed!! Im a full time mental health therapist with a passion for travel, cats, and adventure. I havent been traveling quite so much because im trying to focus on getting my financial shit together, i still dream or roaming the globe! Id love to be in a place where i can host%surf again. Ah well, that time will come again soon in my life--until then, ill just have to live vicariously through the adventures of the people i meet on here!!

PHILOSOPHY

"...I have no regrets because I can grow flowers from where dirt used to be".
