About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to find a new place to call home

ABOUT ME

I am a seeker who is never satisfied. I want to explore and discover things I can't even comprehend. I am about to graduate so I figure this is my time to take a break and learn what can not be found within university walls. I love to cook and feed people. I am on a search for the best cider I can find.

I think everyone should celebrate Taco Tuesday.

I read. and read, and read, and read.

I am pretty quiet if I have to be - I will sneak up stealth like a ninja kitty.

I think I'm funny when everyone else just gives me funny looks.

I have been referred to as a hippie enough times to finally admit I must be one - but not a stinky one.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe everyone should be happy and do what they can to stay that way. I chase every moment that makes me smile and fall in love every day - whether it be with a book, delicious avocado gelato, or the homeless heroin addict on the side of the road.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this community as I haven't really traveled. All of that is about to change. And once I return from my trip I plan to host fellow travelers and show them the city that I love.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not personally hosted anyone but have hung out with surfers staying with friends and. I have traveled within Texas and slept on many couches after nights of too much fun.

I want to be able to experience the places I visit and I think couch surfing is the way to do so. I expect a host to be friendly enough to share their favorite spots and maybe even show me around. I just want to have a good time, basically.

Interests

I think I was a fish in a past life - I love the water. I am a bad swimmer but give me a floaty and will stay in the water all day. I like to hike and camp. I really like to go to my favorite bar and write about all of the crazy people I see. I like to play in dirt, for a purpose or just fun, and eat really good food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel everything I have seen or done could not compare to what I will soon experience in my travels.

But I don't have a sense of smell after falling out of a moving truck. Crown Royal = Bad
