ABOUT ME:
My name is Rebecca but many people call me Becky.

I was born and raised in North Carolina: a beautiful land full of apple pie, rolling mountains and rap music. Over years of traveling and living in different countries, I have fallen in love with my own home.

I have finished my studies, and plan to travel while working in a music journalism career.

I am a very adventurous, open and positive person, with a passion for the arts and film. I like discovering new things and having my mind blown from a conversation or a painting.

My idea of fun varies from having mind stimulating conversations in the grass to club hopping. Maybe we could scream from the top of a building.

Some of my favorite things to do are to go out very late, spend time in nature, dance, cook for many people, explore aimlessly, listen to interviews of directors and rappers, have meaningful conversations in Spanish and take photos.

I have lived in the US, Spain and Chile, and I have backpacked across Western Europe. I speak Spanish and I am learning French. I am madly in love with a French man.

When I visit a new place I like to wander and meet locals. When I meet a new person, I like to hear their perspective on life and what they are passionate about.

Favorite thing to do ever is to laugh, period

PHILOSOPHY:
Spread peace and light like Erykah Badu
Positivity spreads positivity
