I am a girl from Portland who ended up in Milwaukee. I grew up loving adventure and the outdoors. I am a fan of horrible jokes and cheesy happy endings. You never know what is going to happen in life and I love that. I love volunteering, meeting people and of course netflix. I am definitely a dog person but cats aren't so bad either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I want a bit of adventure on my weekends and not the type that includes just sticking to a bar. Not that there is anything bad with that and it is very fun but I want to do something a little more out there. I want to meet people and travel. Explore the areas around me and the ones not around. And if I can help a person on their journey then that is also great. :)

Interests

I love reading and sleeping. I am an avid rock collector and I am not ashamed to say that I have a great love for Star Wars. Volunteering is a great passion and love of mine and would happily do it over school any day if I could. Geocaching is another pastime of mine that I enjoy. It's the great world scavenger hunt. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music...hmmm definitely love my eighties. Uptown Girl by Billy Joel is my favorite song of all times. My guilty pleasure is Taylor Swift. And my all time favorite group is Heart. Honestly though I'll listen to anything on the radio as long as it isn't a commercial.

Movies...to be totally honest I am lacking in this department for the most part. I have seen most of the vital ones such as Disney, Star Wars, LOTR and chick flicks. However the more classic ones, I probably haven't. Movies just aren't my thing really.

Books on the other hand are. I love my books. Anything really. My favorite book of all time is and always will be the Princess Bride by William Gold. The last book I read was Geek Love which is set in my home town. I love books because they let you travel to a whole other world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I chose to follow my dreams over what is expected of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach good manners and morals.

Learn as much as you can to shape your being.

Share your knowledge only if it worth sharing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, split gas money, babysit( I am a full-time nanny), cook, clean. If you need help doing anything I am more than willing to help. :) I really don't want to be a burden.
