About Me

CURRENT MISSION

the answer to the question is...Be

ABOUT ME

Below is a short song-story of a girl, fast approaching womanhood, who is/has been on a journey. A journey to feel, live, learn, experience, be. This is MY excitement and anticipation of feeling- a fervor and need to let go, push the limits, pursue and experience the emerging of a new tides...new times...

(Oh, and please allow yourself to imagine Ms. Nina Simone serenading. She's the BEST!!! :)

summertime

daddy aint rich
but my ma's still cookin
so i'm a hushin'
quiten my mind

for the change of season
and for all those
standin' by

summertime....

to experience

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

my friends are amazing. i could not, would not have traveled were it not for them. To help me with the finances of visiting various places, they've opened their homes (couches and floors included) both before and after my trips. They're simply THE greatest!!!

Interests

have many- discussions, art (in its many forms), reading- philosophy (usually existential), psychology, literature, learning photography, taking the Herbs on hikes, diving into Barton Springs, playin keys and life playing

Music, Movies, and Books

this one's hard. ask me and i'll tell you, but you have share too!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydiving was amazing. still have yet to do it again. amazing thing seen: i bawled and squalled when i saw the mona lisa, but much of my squalling was a kind of realization of where, how and what i was finally able to experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

teach: again, this one's hard. ask me what you'd like to learn and i'll share my knowledge if i have any regarding the subject. i know how to play; know something of dogs, boys and girls, moms and dads, friends, texas heat (just plain stay out of it!!!), chicago winters...you see the list can go on and on.

learn: i appreciate learning of most things and believe i am a life-long learner. but really, i can't accrue any more student loans!!!

share: i'm no good at advice but rely on intuition (when it strikes me, which isn't too often).
