CURRENT MISSION

My current mission... that's difficult. To learn Arabic and and travel, and to enjoy the very best people and parts of the places to I go- what better place to do that than in a new friend's living room?!

ABOUT ME

I think I'm a very lucky person, mainly because I've been fortunate enough to be influenced by many wonderful people and places all over the world. I've loved to travel since I can remember, and would currently consider it to be my greatest priority! I just graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill, in North Carolina. I'm a die-hard college basketball fan. I love the outdoors, and can't think of many better places on Earth than the side of a mountain...I have an obsession with delicious food, and try to cook as often as possible. I love my garden, and especially the cantaloupes from it. I am loyal, and fun, and generally very go-with-the-flow and content. I'll trust someone until they give me a reason not to. I enjoy the bright side of things. I am usually late. I love friends- old ones like they're family, and new ones like they soon will be. I enjoy photography, albeit I'm quite the novice. I try not to take the good things in my life for granted. I am very technically challenged and completely terrified of heights. Most importantly, I am very open-minded, and will happily sleep on your couch! Because, yeah, I'm broke too.

PHILOSOPHY

I live, a lot. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and I find both ways fantastic.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Very new to couchsurfing, but I'm hoping to participate a lot!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've actually never had an official CouchSurfing experience! However, that absolutely doesn't mean that I haven't had a living room full of wandering friends, or been that person myself on another couch. The more the merrier!
