About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am looking to experience life, all aspects. I will not settle down until I have seen what is out there. Currently I am traveling Europe, but I want to make it to Latin America, asia, and do some volunteer work in Africa

ABOUT ME

I love the adventure of a new place, each city has its own smell, its own food, and culture, but deep down I have found the people are all the same-good hearted, and always trying to help. My boyfriend and I are driving through new zealand until may and we are looking to meet new people and find out about the culture here. explore the cities and the landscapes. We are willing to listen to any advice you ahve to give.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. I cant say I go by this all the time, but I try my best to stick to it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a new member and will be traveling all over this summer. I am used to people staying at my house for quite some time now. My brother is in a band, and is always traveling and staying with people he meets on tour. I have been with him accross the US and stayed with various people. We also have bands come and stay at our house when they are playing shows around us. It is a great way to meet new people, and I love being helpful when people are traveling. I hope I can find the same kind of people around

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couldnt have had a better time if I had planned it out with hotels, and tried to find people. Everyone I met was so kind, and generous. I had asked to sleep at someones house for one night before a festival, and she offered to find me equiptment to go camping at the festival, and invited us to camp with her and her friends.

Interests

I love to paint, and draw, my family is a line of artists, My mom is a painter, my brothers are musicians, and I am a painter. I thrive off of learning new things, but I also like to relax.
And apparantly I love food more then i even knew! haha thanks to all my couchsurfing comments. and Music

Music, Movies, and Books

House of Spirits by Isabel Allende, Narcisus and Goldmund by Hesse...actually anything by hesse
Movies: I like funny movies. Will Farell kinds of movies. Dramas always make me cry too much, but I still love them. Scary movies are fun, but... scary? :) I love foreign films .
Music: depending on my mood I can listen to all music. I tend to like mellow music more, radiohead, Feist, Ella Fitzgerald, Justin Timberlake, buena vista social club, Can, As Tall As Lions, the Fleet Foxes, Spoon and so forth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to the Sahara desert and back. Seeing the sand dunes was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. If I could, I would go back to Morocco and other parts of Africa. It was my favorite place visited. Although I dont think I would live there. I would not be able to fit into the lifestyle of the women there. However, I am not saying I disagree with the way they choose to live their lives. They are some of the strongest women you will ever meet. They stick together, and allow the men to believe they are in charge. It is such a wonderful place, and such wonderful people. They are so welcoming and helpful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think it is best to live, Sometimes you have to plan the future, but dont get caught up in it. Life is about NOW
