About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find the questions for which I am searching... then hopefully the answers will follow.

ABOUT ME

I am 28 years old. I followed the path that we are all "supposed" to take. I went from high school right into college and immediately into a nice job... that I hated! So I worked for a long time to save up enough money to quit! So I did quit and now I am travelling until I can find a job that I love in a place that I love! And I love meeting new people along the way and getting their perspective on life and where I should go next or if I should stay!

PHILOSOPHY

I am searching for something. I need to find it... but I don't know what it is... I wish I could say that I am looking for answers... but it seems that I don't even have the questions yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will definitely open up my couch or spare bed to anybody that wants to pass through the place that I end up in... wherever that may be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each experience has been amazing in different ways. I have learned more from my hosts then I ever have from any guide book. A cultural education is one of the most important things that you can take from travelling and you can get that and more from couchsurfing.

Interests

I am a photographer by hobby and a little by trade. I love cycling and hiking. I live to travel! I have lost my heart to travelling and I don't ever want it back!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading! I am addicted to books, but I buy so many I can't keep up with myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just cycled the Western Coast of Northern Ireland. I was at a pretty touristy spot so I decided to climb up into the cliffs to get away. It started raining, so as the rest of the people ran for cover, I bundled myself up and waited out the rain. As soon as it was just me, the sun came out and a huge rainbow filled the sky. It was like it was only meant for me to see.
