CURRENT MISSION

to introduce toe socks to the world

ABOUT ME

i wear orange sunglasses, i love rollercoasters, dogs, and eating. i am spontaneous and interested in new things but also in comfort. i adore speaking other languages and i detest homophobia. i did CS a lot when i lived in spain and a bit in college, but i just got back into the community here in NYC thanks to a friend.

PHILOSOPHY

now.

and, life is better through orange sunglasses. or on a bike. or dancing. or without clothes. or with a dog. but por favor, not all at once
