About Me

i am a travel junkie, raw foodist, earth dweller. hip hop is my love life. i love reading books. i own way too many pairs of sneakers. i lived in nyc for about a decade, loved it, thought i'd live there for the rest of my life until i didn't so I moved to san francisco which is perfect for me right now. i yearn to live in a treehouse and grow my own food. i believe we shouldn't put our lives off and need to live in the now, but we still need to plan for the future. i like dirty pretty things. i like being around people with positive energy. everyone has something to teach me. sometimes we forget to look for the lessons.

My Interests

raw food goodness, traveling, cacao nibs, coconut everything, seaweed, good beats and books, living off the land, spirituality, anasura yoga, ayahuasca, kundalini awakenings, art - photo, design, music, writing, film, etc...being out in nature, hiking, roadtrips, interconnectivity, energy, headphones, oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, citywalks, water towers, people watching, studying the universe, intense conversation, eargasms...
