CURRENT MISSION

Most of my time will be spent dead, so I might as well live life fully! I embrace life and fun wholly - always an adventurer

ABOUT ME

Zany, fun, silly, loud. I am a dancer, a reader, a wearer of red slippers. I am also an avid cyclist. I also have a weird infatuation with teeth. When talking with someone, I look at their mouths.
I enjoy engaging in verbal battles of wit and throwing down dance moves to dubstep and trip-hop.
I've traveled through much of Central America, lived in Guatemala for awhile. I've also lived in France as well as various parts of the good ol' midwest in the U.S. I speak Spanish well.

I also love chickens (I have four in my backyard) and I get nervous making sandwiches.

PHILOSOPHY

I once saw a sign in Guanajuato, Mexico that roughly translates to, "We will spend more time dead than alive, so why not live fully?"

No regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe in the power of human connections - I love the idea of CS and the community that it creates. I'm fairly new to the use of it, but I really want to explore more places with new people. I'm excited to meet engaging folks through CS.
