About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as I can and enjoy life as much as possible...

ABOUT ME

I was a high school counselor in Charlotte, NC for two years and went to Seoul to teach English for a break to see Asia, experience a different culture, and travel when I get the chance. That lasted for 3.5 years and now I'm back in the states for more graduate school. Think I've figured out what I want to do now. *fingers crossed*

I'm just a fun-loving girl who will try most things that aren't too dangerous. I love making new friends and cherish the ones I already have.

I'm studying online and work in a very small office, so I'd like to meet more travelers in my area for conversation or to do something fun. If you can tell me what some fun things to do in this town are, points to you! :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Strangers are just people you have yet to meet." Roberta Lieberman

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only participated by offering conversation and showing visitors around or joining CS group meetings. I haven't hosted or surfed yet, except crashing on fellow CS friend's couches from time to time. I'm looking forward to participating more in the future...
