CURRENT MISSION

i guess my current mission in life is to enjoy each moment of each day as if it was my last. We only have one life to live so we might as well make the most of it while we're here :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty down-to-earth chick, I REALLY enjoy meeting new people and above all MUSIC, MUSIC, MUSIC!! I play guitar, sing, used to play piano and am always willing to participate in a jam session or go to a concert. Music is my passion - that is the most important thing you need to know about me. Other than that I enjoy travelling when the opportunity presents itself, I love hiking, biking, camping, being outside, taking pictures, writing poetry/lyrics, and relaxin with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life everyday as if it may be my last, if an opportunity presents itself I take it. I'm also a very goal-oriented person. If I have my mind set on acheiving something - a dream, an ambition, a way of life - I go after it and never give up or at least go down givin it my all. I love being able to be free and live life to the fullest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined so haven't had much time to participate...but anything having to do with music would probably be right down my alley...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went to northern Germany for a month when I was in high school and lived on a pig farm which was an awesome experience. I've spent many a night on friends' couches, but all of them I have known previously, so I think I'm ready to take it to the next level...to the UNKNOWN :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I graduated from college and moved to a new city. I also studied in Germany for a month and am planning to go back to Europe in the near future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very good at working with children, particularly at-risk children with behavioral disorders and I am trained to use behavior modification with children with ADHD. (I guess that's kinda random). I also know how to speak some German and French. I love learning anything about music and foreign languages.
