CURRENT MISSION

Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another. -Ernest Hemingway. My mission is to distinguish myself with the details of my life.

ABOUT ME

I am 25 years old. I am graduated from Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan with a BA in Communication Studies spring 2014. My minors studies were German, English, and Psychology. I was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan and I love it! My boyfriend Trae and I are currently backpacking Europe for as long as we can, hopefully 6 months! We arrived in Dublin, Ireland on May 19th. We've stayed in hostels our first few days, but are looking forward to staying with the awesome folks of the couch surfing community!

I am adventurous, crazy, fun, loving, uninhibited, kind, free-spirited, happy, hyper, and silly. I love to converse with everyone and anyone about anything and everything.

PHILOSOPHY

If you judge people, you have no time to love them.

"intelligence is intuitive
you needn't learn to love
unless you've been taught
to fear and hate"
- Saul Williams

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I currently do not have a home, I am only surfing and socialising
