CURRENT MISSION

To smile. To explore. To learn. To live

ABOUT ME

- My story telling can be a bit hit or miss. Or
completely awesome. Depending on your penchant for
tangential offshoots and details which belie the crux
of the story.

- I crack myself up all the time.

- I believe life is an adventure. Let’s go exploring :)

- I am curiously happy.

- British humor might be the best thing in the world.

- I can be romantic to a fault. And I love it.

- I laugh. A lot.

- If we are exploring together, we will stop. Often. To take pictures. I hope you aren’t camera shy.

- I love listening to people talk about their interests.

- Letter writing is a lost art and one I like to
partake in. I have my own wax seal.

- I really enjoy maps.

- The stillness of an early morning is never under
appreciated.

- The little things in life give me the most pleasure.

- I like people to leave my presence happier than when
they entered it.

- I believe there’s no point in getting upset over
things you can’t control.

- Patience is probably my greatest virtue.

- Baseball? Yes. Baseball.

- I am fascinated by most things. The world is such an
interesting place.

- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is my favorite book

- If I could have a superpower I would want the ability to understand and speak every language throughout human history.

PHILOSOPHY

Every day we have 24 brand new hours to live

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."
- Thich Nhat Hanh

"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've known about the couchsurfing community for a while now, but now that I have my own apartment, have the ability to host. I look forward to surfing and hosting more and most importantly, meeting you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was in Hong Kong during Chinese New Year celebrations. I've also hosted a few fantastic surfers who were looking to explore the Adirondacks. I've had nothing but great experiences :)

Interests

I'm interested in seeing the world; Of experiencing the newness of everyday and capturing it all through film and photography. I am absolutely thrilled to meet new people through my travels and hear their story. We all have something interesting and awesome we add to the world and I love hearing all about it!
