CURRENT MISSION

Currently? To grow as much as I can before I reach the intellectual age at which I am expected to be grown. Am I too late?

ABOUT ME

Is there anybody who doesn't hate this section? I am a 20 year old student at University. I love literature (specifically children's literature), baking, and tango. I want to experience (nearly) everything and I don't want to do it alone! I love to meet new people with different (and well presented) points of views. Oh, and I love love love surprises!

PHILOSOPHY

Absurdism.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am relatively new at couchsurfer. I've known about it for some time but I've never had the abode (living in dorms) or means (poor college student unable to travel) to enroll. But I've crashed a few couches and I've always had the best of times!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few couches in Spain, France, and Turkey...
Unofficially, though, I lived in an international dorm for a year. The people whom I met there are still some of my best friends! I have offered a bed to many a homeless international student on a cold Thanksgiving/Christmas night.

Interests

Tango Tango Tango! Baking, reading, writing, travel, EATING, passionate discussions late at night when you're too tired to sleep, odd people, nice people, surprises!, walking in the rain, sleeping, watching movies in bed (bonus points if there's tea and chocolate), birds (I've owned four), making connections...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived on a 40 ft sailboat for four years commencing when I was seven. My family and I (five persons total) sailed down the western coast of Central America, through the Panama Canal, touching on Colombia and Jamaica, and rejoined the USA in Key West. No phone, no internet, no cable television, no radio, no air conditioning, no DOORS, no friends, no other English speakers. It was formatived... I wouldn't do it again, but neither would I erase it, given the chance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to tango and I want to learn salsa, bachata, swing dancing, etc. I love to discuss ideas about which both discussees are passionate - be different! Accept who you are and make it work for you. I want to learn to play the violin, tennis, and surf. And if you ever want a buddy with whom to go out and try something interesting, but maybe a little unorthodox, I'm your gal!
