CURRENT MISSION

Start the next chapter ....not sure what that is yet.

ABOUT ME

Just silly old me...Love to meet with people and go to the movies, out for coffee, or just a stroll around the park. I can also be an introvert and spend time by myself; learning new languages or working on projects. Museums are wonderful to visit and I love going to the Ghetty in LA. It's the most amazing place in the city.

PHILOSOPHY

What comes around goes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure yet... Haven't done much particpating, but hope to change that now that I have a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None - but traveling has been put on hold for now.

Interests

I absolutely love to travel. After graduating from uni I told myself that I would visit one country each year. So far the track record has been pretty good. Some of the great places I've been lucky enough to visit include: Australia, France, Switzerland, Italy, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico and a variety of wonderful cities in the my own United States. Another hobby of mine is learning languages. I grew up speaking Spanish and English. Began learning French in HS and studied German and Italian later in life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorites movies include: The Matrix, While You Were Sleeping, Como Agua para Chocolate, Fight Club, All About My Mother, Bring It On, Jeux d'efants, Say Anything - actually anything with John Cusack is great - and the list goes on. The music I listen to varies a great deal. I listen to mostly rock; Linkin Park, Korn, Mana, La Ley, NIN. Then there's the pop music; Kelly Clarkson; Christina Aguilera; Paulina Rubio; Shakira. And how about some old school rap; RunDMC, Beastie Boys. Books: Dracula, In the Time of Butterflies; Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Eyre. Historical fiction is the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm quit my job, took a HUGE pay cut, sold all my belongings and moved to France, where I didn't have any family and only one acquaintance (who ended up giving me the cold shoulder when I arrived).
