Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm exploring the world, on a mission to have fun & be amazed. I want to really breathe in all the beauty the world & life have to offer.
ABOUT ME
You can learn a lot about me, by checking out my FB pics, but I'm not great at seeing friend requests. So, let me know to let you in.
My best friends would say that I'm fun- I get 'Crazy, in a good way', a lot. I like to play & be silly & see the world. I'm good with taking a risk- hoping to skydive Egypt, but I think it's illegal & I'm not THAT big of a risk taker! I'm very independent & good on my own, but love meeting new people & getting their take on life. It's almost always more fun to see a place with someone who lives there & loves it - ok, except that one weirdo.. Live & learn! :)
PHILOSOPHY
Mix kindness with your honesty & a true zest for life. If it's not working, just keep trying new things 'till you find what does. Then, find something else to improve.. I am never bored & rarely sleepy- usually, happy & often, ridiculous.. I laugh at myself a lot, but I won't laugh at you, unless you tell a joke!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm just starting & enjoying making new friends. Since I live in Key West, where it's pricey to stay + I depend on my vacation property for income, it'll have to be just the right circumstance & timing, for me to host, but feel free to ask. I love meeting people & may be able to show you around. Also, some of you may want to know before meeting me- I'm a female, who lives on an island... So, sex is easy to find around here & not what I'm looking for from CS. ..Not that you were thinking that, BUT just in case... :) So, be sure to mention that in your request, if you have any interest in stayin' at my place, please. :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I couch surfed across Turkey & had a wonderful time, meeting amazing people. I'm SO glad I finally jumped.
Interests
I love my job- I have a small boutique, specializing in handmade, one of a kind & rare find, exotic jewelry & accessories. So, I make it my excuse to travel- buying around the world. So, shopping for work is a thrill, but I LOVE islands & the ocean, coffee, chatting, goofing off, seeing cool spots in new places, art & architecture, natural phenomena, talking, listening & making new friends. I'm ok w/ having a drink, but not interested in getting trashed & being up all night, partying all the time. I'd love more travel buddies & btw, I'm friggin' hilarious. So, prepare to pee your pants!
