About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, meet new people, learn a few languages, and experience new things.

ABOUT ME

I really like to enjoy life. My traveling experiences have really opened my eyes to the world around me to really live life in the moment, showed me it's okay to have a plan, and that we will all die one day, so all you have to live for is the relationships you build on your path through life. I really like to be happy, although sometimes I can get sad.
Most would consider me a fun-loving person, who is accepting of others, a smart-ass, out going, a good eater, and a friend. I rarely do not get along with people, especially because I feel that life is to short to hold grudges (though I may have a few). But I believe in second chances and that people will change. Life is about improving who we are and making changes to make my life better as well as those around me. And although I can have a chip on my shoulder and be afraid of getting hurt, I know how important it is to let those who love you into your life and to take a risk.

PHILOSOPHY

"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to try couch surfing in Europe to make new friends and when I return back to the states be able to host others and those who I have met who are interested in visiting California.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I need more experience. Thanks for the advice on my posts surfers!!! Really helps instill confidence that I can really enjoy this experience. ^_^
The people I normally meet that are connected to CS are amazing people and those experiences have all been positive!!!
