CURRENT MISSION

it's all about the experiences, baby!

ABOUT ME

I am sparkly. my enthusiasm for life and love and passion is contagious. I am an artist - feeling most fulfilled in photography. I want to see the sky from every country in the world. I meet interesting people everywhere I go. I am learning and sharing. I am on a journey. I am letting go of attachments. I am trusting. I yearn for community. I value beauty, freedom, truth, love. I am here, now. I am funny.

PHILOSOPHY

I am young and uncommitted... it's all about the experiences! Life is beautiful and precious.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My stuff is already in storage, so why not jump on over to NY and meet some people. Looking to surf, will host someday when I am settled. This site is fascinating to me! I heart community!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This summer I slept on my friends couch while trying to figure out what I am going to do. I took care of her 6 year old while she was working on a film in exchange. We drank wine and laughed and watched movies together at night. It was like home.

Music, Movies, and Books

My humor is capsulated in the movie Super Bad. Totally unexpected but, man - I love those guys. I think Gia was well done. Walk the Line. Little Miss Sunshine. My favorite books are Oh the Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Still need to commit to the Artists Way and finish the Power of Now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life is when the temple burned and fell so gracefully in one swoop and every person gasp in unison at Burning Man 2009. I also saw the sun rise above purple mountains and every star you ever wanted to see.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will always love taking pictures of people in their habitats - or doing what they do best. I want to sing again. I want to act more. I want to learn how to cook. I want to slow down with you - meditate, breathe, yoga. I want to learn more spanish and start learning italian. note: where ever i go I will need space to set up my iMAC desktop computer so I can edit pictures!!
