Louisville, Family travel

This was one of the best trips I went on with family. We got to go into a cave and see the history behind it. It was a stay for about a week and we stayed in an airbnb . The food and people were amazing. This was such an amazing experience 10/10 I recommend

Cannon Beach, Group travel

I visited this town during the rainy season in November. It's one of the most picturesque coastal towns I've been to and it looked even more beautiful in the rain. The beach is stunning and otherwordly. The food was great. I had pancakes and coffee. Locals were pleasant.

Post Falls, Group travel

I think Idaho is pretty fun but at the same time it gets really boring after while especially in post falls where there really is not much at all I mean sure there's a few good food places but for activities there's not much to do.

Boone

Boone is very safe during the day and at night. I have never felt unsafe when walking alone. It is a college town so there will be some drunk people on the weekends but really not notable. The police respond fast if anything happens but there is no big police presence usually. Boone is a very safe town

West Bloomfield Township

West Bloomfield is a very safe and quiet suburb of Detroit. It was recently the target of a terrorist attack (Temple Israel), but that was a very unusual incident. Since then, police presence near the Temple is almost constant.

Albuquerque

Born and raised here in Albuquerque I’ve really learned to surround myself with good people and trustworthy people who wouldn’t put me in bad situations. Although nightlife in downtown Albuquerque can be a little sketchy sometimes where fights can break out, and this is a point where sometimes people can bring guns and scary drugs. During the day, it’s quite beautiful despite going into the war zone is a place I don’t ever go unless I want cheap gas. The west side is beautiful if you’re looking...

About me

I’m a fun, energetic person who can also enjoy a quiet afternoon in the sun, reading. I wake at about 6 am every day and spend some time to myself, drinking coffee before I exercise, and then go to work. I have a few close friends. I enjoy deep and authentic conversations and connections. Some people say they are intimidated by me and then say that once they get to know me I am very relatable and genuine. I lift up anyone who identifies as female or NB, we’ve come too far to tear one another apart. We need to create more community, not less.
