ABOUT ME
Hello fellow surfers,
My name is Caitlin... I'm new to the couchsurfing community but think that this idea is incredible and am really excited to have the opportunity to meet and connect with people and places that I never would have otherwise! From the profiles that I have seen so far, this seems like an amazingly diverse community of people, and I'm looking forward to getting to know as many of you as I can.
Here's a little bit about myself...
My name is Caitlin Marie-Clare.
I'm 20 years old and my profession is being a student.
I also work at a bookstore to pay my rent.
I'm technically studying architecture at Drexel University in Philadelphia, but love to learn new things regardless of whether its in or out of a classroom... I love being exposed to new ideas and situations and experiences, and want to experience and learn everything that I possibly can.
Studying architecture is incredible.. its hard work, but its a perfect mix of artistic and academic skills.
If I could be outside all of the time, I probably would be... exploring the outdoors, hiking, climbing, boating, and various sports (namely tennis, golf, and manhunt.. I consider manhunt a sport, yes) make me very happy. I feel most in my ideal environment when I'm in nature, and most at peace with myself and with the world.
This makes it very ironic that I live in the heart of a large city... I also feel very inspired by diversity, and have a great interest in culture and history and being part of a great system of active people. I spend a good deal of my time exploring Philadelphia, and even after having lived here for three years, I am constantly amazed by the number of new and interesting things I stumble upon every time I wander about. I try to be constantly inspired by absolutely everything and everyone... I find it the best way to enjoy life. There is something interesting and unique and incredible about every person I meet, and everything I see... I am trying to develop an appreciate for these things, though I feel the task is near impossible; there are far to many things to appreciate to be able to do so in a lifetime!
I'm extremely amused by the simplest by the simplest of things.
I love the ability that music has to effect a person's mood or attitude.
I come from a very large family of nine siblings, who are the most amazing people that I have every had the opportunity to know. It sounds insane, but it really wasn't that bad.
I grew up in Tampa, Florida. Many people don't realize it, but Florida is actually a very beautiful place (besides the beach even!). I think it is a wonderful place to visit and explore, but left because of the lack of culture and history. I feel that a society needs these elements to be a truly beautiful and inspiring place.
Lastly, I love to visit new places and meet new people! Which is why surfing is such an incredible idea to me. Feel free to message me with any other questions you may have, or just to tell me about yourself! I find every person has an interesting story and that there is something to learn from every single individual I cross paths with... so very excited to be exposed to all of these new experiences that are waiting for us!
