CURRENT MISSION

Learn to speak better Italian, meet new friends, eat amazing new foods!

ABOUT ME

My most favorite past-time EVER is conversation. Some of the best nights have been spent talking and getting to know someone new. I also LOVE telling stories and hearing them.....I love a good story! I'm also a pretty passionate person and enjoy other passionate people. Culture is important to me and I love hearing about where people come from and what they're about. Music makes me happy, I love to dance, but if you feed me I'll love you forever! Naps....naps are also a little piece of heaven! Oh...and friends! I LOVE new friends! I hope to meet you all soon!

PHILOSOPHY

Just be cool. And by that I mean you do you and let others do what they're gonna do, don't get in anyone's way just because your path may not be theirs. Learn from their successes and their mistakes. Appreciate them for who they are and hope that they can do the same for you. Learn as much as you can and try to grow constantly into being a better person. We need to HELP each other as often as we can! Building bonds makes us stronger!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I enjoy couchsurfing at people's places and going to CS events! It's hard to host at home since I'm living with my parents right now, but I'm always down to hang out and show people around....we don't get many CSers out in Temperance, MI but if does stop through, message me!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had the most amazing experiences couch-surfing and hold the friends I've met via this site near and dear to my heart. I don't know who I would be without the relationships and experiences CS and CSers have given me! I tell everyone about the beauty of Couchsurfing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not that great of a cook, certainly not an artist, can't plan an instrument, but I think I'm still a person others can enjoy and learn some things from. I'm an old soul, and I believe we all are deep down.... we can learn a lot from one another.
