About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make a difference again and again

ABOUT ME

I am determined. I seek knowledge through experience. I tend to get bored often, but am easily entertained. I always laugh at myself so there is usually a smile or smirk on my face. I am resolution-oriented. I want to impact. People won't remember what you said or what you did, but they will remember how you made them feel.

PHILOSOPHY

You only get what you give. You reap what you sow. Law of Equivalent Exchange

Character is who you are when no one is looking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people, I surf, and I ALWAYS blabber on and on about how amazing CSing is. Anytime someone mentions traveling I have to do my CS plug.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Welcome! That word can probably sum up my CS experience. All my surfers and hosts are now a part of my life and should our paths cross again I know it would be with open arms. I have thoroughly enjoyed CSing! I hosted both in my hometown (Corpus) and in San Francisco. Although, currently I can't host, but can meet up for some sight seeing or entertainment of some sort, eh?

Interests

I have many, but nothing that I can think of that I have been absorbed in. Well, if it's just interests... psychology, time travel, the human experience, plants & animals, what combination of seasonings is tastiest?, electricity, bubbles

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's all been pretty amazing- don't want to discount the low moments because without them we would not appreciate the high as much. Just glad there was one more day for the books! Have amazing memories- getting over my fear of heights (again), watching my little sister grow up and my brother mature (I had a hand in both, teehee), rubbing elbows with rockstars, saved a life or two, it's all mine.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hailing taxis. I can hail the shit out of a taxi. Once I was hailing a taxi so hard a bus stopped.

I make pretty delicious salsas, dips, and guacamole.
Can drop a bit a knowledge about that!

I am experimenting with seasonings and flavors... suggestions? I like spicy, and crunchy, and salts, and herby... just all of the above. I am curious about sweetness in the seasoning- I am open to it, I just usually don't do it.
