About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the WORLD

ABOUT ME

I am a slightly crazy person that loves people, animals, children, traveling, my family, and my CATS. In the US, I work as a gymnastics coach and much more of my life revolves around working with young kids (and I LOVE it.) I am a vegetarian of 4 years or so and never see myself eating meat again. I am a strong believer that you have to learn to appreciate everything you have been given in life and really reflect on everything to be grateful. That's where I am currently in my life- I was given an opportunity to study law in Wroclaw, Poland where I have been for 6 months now. Now that I will leave to go back to my hometown, Greensboro, NC, I can really reflect at all of my experiences in Europe and go back a COMPLETELY different, more knowledgable, individual.

Maybe it is safe to say I love LIFE in general!
--->That and maybe cooking (VEGETARIAN) food and loving all over my kitties ; )

PHILOSOPHY

An individual has not started living fully until they can rise above the narrow confines of individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of humanity … Every person must decide at some point, whether they will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness. This is the judgment. Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to surf couches across the GLOBE. You have to interact with the locals in any place you visit to really learn about the culture and completely SUBMERGE yourself in the lifestyle! What a beautiful thing!

That, and, I would LOVE to host people. I am unable to at the moment as I am traveling, but once I get back home to North Carolina, I want to welcome anyone to stay at my place...Many people do not necessarily want to travel to this state if they think about traveling the US and I want to show people that my state is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL and GREEN state with so much to see!
