CURRENT MISSION

Drink lots of coffee, learn lots of Italian, make lots of money to get back to Italy to eat lots of pizza!

ABOUT ME

I'm a beach girl at heart! I love warm weather, and not freezing in the cold. I'm adventurous, daring, random, funky, sometimes goofy and very free-spirited. I'm a little rebellious and opinionated, but no worries- I'm lovable!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm open-minded and I try very hard not be judgmental. I believe that sexual orientation is not a preference and that noone has the right to tell someone else how to live. Life is too short for us to be worrying about what other people think about us. Religion should not be crammed down people's throats and people are born different, which is what makes us all unique instead of boring. I also believe in studying and knowing your stuff. The beauty of this is that the more you study, the more you realize how very little you know about this amazing world we live in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I learn as much as I can about other cultures, history, and religions and share with anyone around me who will listen! I am constantly studying, and when I can, I travel!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to CouchSurfing!

Interests

I love traveling, learning about different cultures, learning new languages, meeting new people, reading, listening to music from all over the world (with the exceptions of country and bluegrass), studying world religions, history and mythology, running, swimming, practicing yoga, and writing poetry. I also love to paint seashells and beach time is a must for me!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I nearly fell into the crater of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy last August trying to take a picture, which was a little scary because you never know when it's going to wake up. Yikes!

Teach, Learn, Share

I plan to become a History/World Religions professor, to travel and teach people about other religions, cultures, and history. We need to be more aware of what else is in this world, not just what we were raised with!
