CURRENT MISSION

graduate without dying.

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty easy going person. I enjoy living life and meeting new people. I love eating food and having a drink. I am a very outgoing person and I love to talk.. about anything, music, food, the weather. I am easily sentimental and probably too comfortable with people I've just met.

PHILOSOPHY

I strongly believe in treating people the way you want to be treated. I try and be nice to people.

I think that sometimes life is hard, sometimes it is painful and sometimes it just downright sucks, but there is still so much beauty in the world and the good times are coming back soon.

I believe that the only way we truly learn something is be experiencing it. Maybe that means making mistakes.. but I think those mistakes are worth it and they are what shape us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am only able to surf because I don't have my own place. However, that will change soon and then I will open up my couch to the world.

Interests

I love music! I don't play any instruments and I can't sing to save my life.. but I love discovering new bands. Or just listening to my favorites over and over.

I love photography. I love developing my own film and my own prints. Someday when I have money I will have my own darkroom.

One of my passions is theater. During the summer I assistant teach acting classes to 4-6 year olds. You haven't seen everything till you watch a 20 kindergartners try and put on a play!
