I'm a pretty laid back, easy going person, and I love to laugh. My passion growing up was always anything and everything that had to do with ancient Egypt. I'm fascinated by history and learning about the story behind everything. I could spend all day in a history museum (I have several times actually). I love to be outside in nature and to take in the beauty that surrounds me. I enjoy live music and going to shows, dancing, hiking, traveling, being in water, writing, drawing, painting, sleeping, and I have an addiction to books. I also love animals and always considered myself a dog person, but I somehow ended up with a cat. My cat is super chill and sweet though, so it's okay. I began eating healthier, whole, organic food about a year ago for my health, but I still like to go out to eat on occasion for just about anything. My weakness is cheese.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when I was three and a half years old. I've been blessed that I've been able to manage it pretty well and have not gotten sick in 2 years due to my change in diet, exercise, and overall outlook on life. It does come with the annoying responsibility of having to do breathing treatments for an hour twice a day, but thanks to new technology, it's become much more manageable and just apart of my normal routine. It doesn't define me and I've come to truly love and appreciate my body regardless. Feel free to ask me any questions about it if you're curious.

Música, películas y libros

- I love classic rock, motown, funk, blues, folk, bluegrass, western country (not that pop-rock country fusion shit), and some EDM. Pink Floyd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Rising Appalachia have a special place in my heart.

-One of my favorite movies is Pan's Labyrinth. I love most all comedy, drama, time-period films, indie flicks, action, and movies that make you think. Oh, and I love Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, Outlander, Black Sails, Bate's Motel, Girls, Once Upon a Time, and Vikings.

-Anything by Paolo Cohelo. I read a lot of non-fiction stuff like biographies, philosophy, history, and some metaphysical type teachings, but I can also get into a good novel at times. I love poetry. Some of my favorite poets are: Edgar Allen Poe, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Shakespeare, Rumi, and Kahlil Gibran.

Algo increíble que he hecho

- Got a new liver when I was nine and didn't die.
- Driving cross-country alone and haven't died...yet.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

- I know a lot about hospitals, doctors, and nurses. I could probably administer an IV as well as any nurse just in case of emergencies :)
- I've done a lot of my own research on diet and natural remedies but would love to learn more.
- I could talk a lot about ancient Egypt. It's always been a passion of mine, as I've always felt some type of connection there.
- I love having deep and introspective conversations and learning from other people's point of view.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'm laid back and open to almost anything. I'll try anything once, as long as it doesn't wreck havoc on my health and lungs. I'm clean, organized, and cook pretty well. I can keep to myself or be great company. I'm always up for an adventure :)
