I'm a new transplant to the midwest and am trying to make the most of it while I'm here. The old school CS layout used to ask some pretty useful questions, so I'll keep up with the tradition in an attempt to explain a little bit "about me."

CURRENT MISSION

Taking full advantage of being a twentysomething.

PHILOSOPHY

Stealing from Elizabeth Gilbert, Eric Roth, Angela Davis, and Benny Franklin...

You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.

It is never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. Make the best of it. See things that startle you. Feel things you never felt before. Meet people with a different point of view. Live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, find the strength to start all over again.

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that's the stuff life is made of.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have never been part of a community as amazing and open as CS, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had so many life changing experiences with such wonderful people from around the world.
