About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To expand my network and meet fabulous people from all walks of life!

ABOUT ME

I'm just your average girl always seeking new adventures! Love exploring new cultures and meeting and learning about new people.

Some things I cannot live without: Strong black coffee, the suns rays, sarcasm, flip flops, music, sport (playing and spectating), exploration, political discussions, laughter.... and soo much more! ;)

Currently in graduate school pursuing my MA in International Affairs. My studies will take me to Turkey this summer followed by London for the fall semester. Then I will have to figure out what I want to be when I grow up!! ha.

PHILOSOPHY

Experiences are infinitely more valuable than possessions!

See the World!

Learn as if you will live forever, Live as if you were to die tomorrow!
-Ghandi

Accept challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.
-George Patton

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just looking to make great friends and perhaps find "real" tour guides along the way! ;) Eventually when I get settled and find myself in one spot for an extended amount of time I plan on offering up my couch and guide services (wherever that may be!)!
