CURRENT MISSION

explore my new city!

ABOUT ME

Acquaintances might say that I'm shy, quiet and slow-to-warm-up...but once people get to know me, I'm really none of those things. :) I come out of my shell very easily when I'm around warm, open, inviting and kind people. Also when I've had a little booze.
I am a polite, respectful, compassionate, loving (though I tend to initially use humor to show this emotion), silly little vegan.
I want to be more open. I want to see and try new things. I've come to realize that life is about the experiences we have, not the things we buy.

PHILOSOPHY

"We must learn to be lost, graciously." --Circa Survive

I want to do things now, because I don't know how much time I have on this beautiful planet. I feel fortunate to have been given this life, and I think it would be awful of me to waste it. Life experience > material goods.
I want to make people happy, help animals, and generally just work my way towards hippie status I guess.

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed a bit during the road trip from DE to CA, and that has inspired me to return the favor. My roommates and I will be hosting surfers once we get our new apartment furnished!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't surfed much, but it has been a positive experience, definitely. The old me would've chosen a hotel over a couch, but I quickly learned that surfing provides great life experiences. :)
