About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to live and experience as many things and places as I can.

ABOUT ME

I'm a young woman taking some time off of school and a grown-up life to figure out my self and the world in which I live. There are so many places that I want to see I don't know when I'll finally settle down somewhere and live my life "normally". Traveling is in my blood. My dad has been all over the world. When he was young and going to university, he took semesters all over the world and traveled with his company everywhere I've ever wanted to go.
I'm a little shy but am a very open-minded person that wants to experience as many things as possible.
For someone that lives in Canada (Where it gets really cold), I don't like winter and don't participate in any winter-related activities.
I like animals, a lot. I REALLY like to bake, though cooking is not my forte. I like exercising although it's not easy to motivate myself. I like soccer, it's one of the only sports I'm good at. I'm surprisingly good at Beer Pong. I'm quite a good listener but I don't always know the right thing to say. I usually don't have much to say.

PHILOSOPHY

Listen and learn. You never know what you are going to need to know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Pass it on! Telling everyone I know about this.

Interests

I am a creative person though I don't seem to have time for much anymore.
I like to work. That may be a weird thing to say but manual labour, and anything hands on that I can make myself makes me very happy. I like to see the finished product.
I like making crafts- useless things that you create once and then have no where to put it or any use for it.
I like learning. I want to know what you listen to, I love collaborating on music tastes. I want to know where you shop. I want to know where you've been, where you want to go. I love hearing stories, it gives me ideas of my own.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies...I've seen a lot of movies. I love dumb humor. I love movies that make me cry. I love Disney movies, it makes me very nostalgic. I love movies about places I am eager to visit.
Some of my favorites though include: P.S. I love you, Zoolander, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, 10 Things I Hate About You, Elizabethtown, Superbad, Pineapple Express, and a lot more I can't think of.
Music...I am a very big fan of classic rock. If it was made before I was born, chances are I love it. I also really like metal and indie as well as punk and pop. My favs: The Beatles, The Clash, BTO, CCR, Metallica, Motorhead, Kiss, Coldplay, Death Cab for Cutie, Iggy Pop, Modest Mouse, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Def Leppard, Styx, ELO, The New Pornographers, Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, etc.
I read books that most people have never heard of.
