Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to finish school, for real this time.
ABOUT ME
I grew up in Times Square in the 80's, which is weird, but it was great. I love NYC but see it's faults. I am generally up for anything and since starting to travel at 18, I realized that traveling was my happy place. Meeting random people, seeing places and appreciating the world in 3D. I have lived in Arizona, Oregon, Colorado and some other places briefly. I do like moving around but would also like to find a spot to lay down roots, at least for a little while. I want a dog, a garden and some chickens! I currently reside in the Bronx, which is interesting and kind of dirty, at least my neighborhood. Although it might not be a point of interest in many guidebooks, if you come to visit NYC remember to come take a look. In fact if you come to visit NYC fuck the guide books and shopping, and just walk around and do free things (you can ask me what those are).
PHILOSOPHY
treat people well, taking care of plants/animals/people, keep widening my lense, composting and waste reduction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
While living in Portland, Oregon I got into a bike accident because I wasn't looking and totally messed up my knee...BUT the best part was when I fell off several street addicts came to my rescue...they were just hanging out and got me some ice, one of them offered me a pain killer and it was great
