CURRENT MISSION

I suppose in practical terms graduating from college without a ton of debt is my current "mission". I have had the opportunity to travel quite a lot the past few years and have realized the importance of seeing the world and to not be so ethnocentric .

ABOUT ME

I am definitely not your typical American, my political, religious, and social views are pretty unorthodox, that being said, I have learned the value of differing views about the world. I certainly do not want to live in a world where everybody enthusiastically agrees with each other and I hope my children don't live in that world either. Freedom of speech should trump all other ideologies.

PHILOSOPHY

Eat spicy food, drink good beer and listen to Bluegrass.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well it hasn't been a bad experience, I first tried CS while in Germany this summer to try and escape the techno-blasting hostiles of Frankfurt, no luck, no responses. I think it helps if your a tall blonde Swedish chick, well anyway I hope to have more luck in the future.

Interests

I am a powder addict and always will be, skiing in deep snow is probably the closest thing to a religious experience I have had. Backpacking, kiteboarding, surfing, I can get down with basically any outdoor activity. More scholarly interests of mine include reading, writing, and discussing politics over alcoholic beverages. Gardening, cooking and brewing my own beer make me happy as well.
