CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of this world and make as big of an impact as I can during the short time we humans are given

ABOUT ME

I am California girl...born and bred. That means that I get anxious away from the ocean and I have an irrational idea of what the weather should be like.
I was raised to be an open minded individual, and out of all of my sisters (there are many) I ended up being the one who somehow cant seem to put down roots. So needless to say, I love drifting. A lot. Thank you couchsurfers for helping with that!
I love, love, love having abstract conversations and learning about other peoples ideas and beliefs. Especially if they aren't the same as my own.
I am really easy going and I honestly just love to have fun. I also am open to learning about almost anything I can get my hands on- be it Gardening 101 or How To Build The World's Greatest Tree House

PHILOSOPHY

-There are too many people too angry at a world that isn't in the least bit angry with them. Live Happy.
-Life moves too fast as it is, sit back. Dont rush it.
-Acts of kindness make the world turn more gently.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host when I'm home, or have a stable couch!

Interests

I love traveling and meeting new people, and experiencing other cultures. I always want to move to everywhere I go, so I'll probably end up just being a professional wanderer for life. Photography and art are two things that keep me entranced, and music is a way of life. The beach is my one true love and I'm always up for an adventure! I also am an undercover bookworm, and I read a hundred times more than anyone would ever guess. So if you cant find me at the beach, in a forest, or with friends, it is probably because I am hiding somewhere....reading....

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a movie fanatic. Unless it is a scary movie. In that case. I refuse.
Music?

Paulo Coelho is my favorite author...one of many

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Delivered my beautiful nephew. Seeing life up close like that is the most amazing thing I have seen or done.
Swimming with sharks in the Blue Hole off of the coast of Belize comes up to a close second.
Hiking 140k in 5 days through the sub tropical rainforest of Guatemala to reach the cradle of Mayan civilization...the ruins of El Mirador.
Spending 3 days hiking to the summit of the Rinjani volcano in Lombok, Indonesia. Best sunrise of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

My favorite personal lesson is that some of life's greatest gifts arrive by smashing all the windows.
