CURRENT MISSION

To meet people and broaden my travel experiences! I love to meet new people and have a totally open mind to anything and everything.

ABOUT ME

I am a 19 year old Sophomore college student and am right now studying in Santiago de Compostela, Spain for the semester and making the most of the whole experience! I love meeting new people from all different countries here and it has been an eye opening experience to become even more open and willing to learn about everyone and their own beliefs too!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy would have to be to live life to the fullest first of all. Carpe Diem definitely is a good way to sum up my thoughts on life, I think we all take things too much for granted sometimes and people need to realize what they have that others don't. I have lately lost some friends and other younger colleagues who should not have lost their life and opportunities so early and therefore I feel we all need to take time to be thankful for what there is and for every day we experience. Every person that you meet in life is put there for a reason and teaches you something new about yourself or about life in general. That is one thing I have become a huge believer in especially being on a semester abroad. I know how life changing it is to see new things and meet new people you might have never thought to talk to before. I feel people need to open their eyes to all the possibilities always. The CouchSurfing experience can also open your eyes to things and help you meet so many new people of all sorts of cultures which is truly awesome in my mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment, as I am just starting to participate in this, I am open to have some fun experiences meeting some new people with couch surfing in Western Europe and later in the United States! I will be completely open and willing to meet people in the US later, or in Santiago de Compostela for coffee or anything of the sort for the time being!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have now had two CouchSurfing experiences and they have been quite beneficial to meet some new people from various places in a foreign city to me!

Interests

I love theatre, musicals, music, going out with my friends, watching pretty much any type of movie, trying new things of any sort, traveling is a huge passion of mine, spending time outdoors, exploring old cities, festivals, concerts, spending time with my family, shopping, driving without a purpose, singing your heart out alone in the car, exercising, water-skiing, water-tubing, hiking, and so much more always interests me.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to everything, from Pop music, Indie Rock, Country, Classic Rock, Electronic, I have lately been introduced to a little Spanish music, and always am looking to broaden my music taste and library!
Movies: As a classic my favorite movie would have to be Wizard of Oz, but I also love the nostalgic Disney movies, I love action movies, some 'chick flicks', suspense or thriller I like, and dramas too. Comedies are one of my absolute favorites though. Little Miss Sunshine, The Dark Knight, Mean Girls, Toy Story, The Little Mermaid, Hide and Seek, Drag me to Hell, Psycho, Secret WIndow, Pirates of the Caribbean, the Twilight Series I am a pretty big fan of, The Notebook, Chicago, Take the Lead, The Hangover, Avatar, and lots more.
Books: I am always in the search for a good read! I want to read more classics and more classic authors because to this point I have not had much experience with the best literature, and want to have more! I really enjoy dramas, suspense, sometime romance, historical fiction, and open my eyes to any interesting sounding read. To this point I enjoy the Twilight series quite a bit, some Nicholas Sparks books; The Notebook, Dear John, The Lake House, also enjoy books like Wicked, Son of a Witch, and several others by Gregory McGuire, Lolita, and I want to find more and more!
