CURRENT MISSION

To enrich my life by traveling and experiencing new cultures and new friendly faces.

ABOUT ME

I'm a gal who simply loves to travel. It's very basic, but it's my dream to just backpack across the world. I love meeting new and great people who have the same interests. I enjoy photography and so it fits in pretty well with traveling. I love the arts, so I tend to gravitate towards anything that involves creativity such as music, painting, photography, film, etc...
I'm an animal person, so I love pets. Leaving my dog behind will be the most difficult part in my efforts to travel.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life every day like it's your last. I have trouble sometimes following this motto, but it's so very true. You never know what the future holds, be it positive or negative.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host people as well as be hosted when I start to travel extensively. Once I have a place in Japan and get settled, I should have a couch/futon open to the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The closest I've gotten to couch surfing is staying in hostels. So, I can't say I've had the privilege yet.

Музыка, кино и книги

Movies are an escape for me. I have an extremely extensive list. To name a top few: Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Perfume: Story of a Murderer, The Fall, Neverending Story, and Willow
Music: From Muse to Kylie Minogue. Yes, Kylie Minogue.
Books: I tend to read a lot. I love fantasy and horror novels. But, I love period dramas and biographies as well. I'm all over the place. My favorite recent read was Acacia by David Anthony Durham.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

My 3 week trip to Japan in 2005 was a life changing experience. It pushed me towards my goal to learn Japanese and live in the country at least for a year. Specifically on this trip, my stay in Koyasan was almost a spiritual experience. It was the most beautiful and haunting place I've ever been. It ignited a fire in me to see more of these places in the world more than anything.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm from Austin Texas. Texas is not all cowboys, horses, and guns. We are all not raised on a farm and I like to teach people that being Texan means more than the stereotypes that are put out there. I'm a film nerd and I tend to love discussions about film. I love sharing and learning about other films from people.
