ABOUT ME

...wandering around the world, making new friends and learning as much as possible.

I style photo shoots for magazines and blogs, Paint, drink lots of tea, swim every day, and explore everything. I am obsessed with the connection between art and spirituality. I live my life peacefully, surrounded by creative people. I want to help shape the world into a more beautiful, friendly place. Sometimes I am too rebellious for my own good.

Here are my musings on Fashion and Adventure:
http://www.culture-keeper.com/

I enjoy couch surfing because I am passionate about meeting new people, and extending kindness and understanding. I can be fun and entertaining, or quiet and discreet depending on the need of the situation. I endeavor to be extremely respectful at all times.

PHILOSOPHY

The more adventurously you live, the more interesting your stories will be when told to your grandchildren.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have spent my entire life hosting guests from all over the world... my parent's house was abuzz with cultures, and languages, and newfound friends. That is how I live- in a constant state of hospitality and kindness.
