CURRENT MISSION

To live freely and happily, to discover something new everyday, and to surf the couches of the world!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in the desert of Arizona. I actually miss it sometimes.
Now, I live in Orange County, but I do not intend to stay.
I just graduated from college and am a little scared about the future
I love music, I play piano, and I sing all the time (although this is not necessarily a good thing!)
I enjoy sarcasm and dry humour.
I live for adrenaline rushes and adventure.
I'm trying to not get comfortable with everyday life, because there is so much more to discover.
Like most people on this website, I live for traveling. I can't imagine my life had it not been for the experiences I've had in other countries. Traveling is the best education I have ever received, and I can't wait to continue learning from new people and new places.

I'm also planning a trip around the world, around September 2009. I'm looking for travel partners for specific places, let me know if you want to join!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach piano, and other various instruments

I'm trying to learn more languages, and improve my Spanish. If you could help, I would love you forever.

I also really want to learn some basics of photography. I have a new camera and I don't know how to use it very well. Help?
