CURRENT MISSION

2010 is the year for me to explore Europe. This is my fourth time on this continent and I have only lived in France and visited Brussels. So far I've been to Hungary, Germany and Monaco. Next are Vienna and Madrid. After that I'm open to suggestions!!!

ABOUT ME

Recent grad teaching English in the south of France. Life couldn't be sweeter.

PHILOSOPHY

Life-is-try: All we have to do is just try ... if we fail or succeed, we are still learning. This of course stems from my highschool chem-is-try teacher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I go to the local weekly couch surfing meetings. Have yet to couch surf!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've loved the people I've met. This is a really awesome network of super friendly and interesting people.

Interests

Just about anything. Music (mostly listening), dancing (salsa/latin currently), sports (specifically soccer and running, I'm not so good with raquet sports), photography (film and digital) and of course traveling!

Music, Movies, and Books

Any dancing movie, no matter how bad the plot is. Anything with a Zimmer or Williams soundtrack. Love thrillers but don't love horror movies.
Music, I'd like to say eclectic. Currently listening to Dylan's "If you're gotta go, go now."
Books: currently into non-fiction with a spice of classics that I never got to read in school. Exs Love in the Time of Cholera and How the Mind Works.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Touching a wild mouse and ringtail lemur.
Mapping out a section of endangered coastal rainforest.
Conducting my own research thesis.
Kayaking through a storm.
Swam in 3 different oceans.
Walked through snow in a coastal city that hadn't fell since the year of my birth.
