About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life

ABOUT ME

Organized and planned. This isn't to say that I can't be spontaneous. I just have a better chance of being relaxed when I know what will happen next. That being said, I love to try new things and have new experiences as often as possible. I tend to get anxious but it doesn't last long and it doesn't stop me from being outgoing or a socialite. I look at life from as positive a perspective as I can. I try to roll with the flow as often as possible. There are just so many more chance encounters that way.

PHILOSOPHY

You have to be honest with yourself to be honest with others. Life is about the people we share our experiences with. Nothing is permanent. Things will change most drastically as soon as you get comfortable. All you can do is enjoy each moment as it comes and let it go when it needs to leave. Everything has a silver lining, or gives us a much needed perspective. Learn, Love, Live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All your experiences in life are about the people you share them with. I want to share all I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm a couch surfing virgin.

Interests

Horses, outdoors and nature, anything active especially hiking, kayaking, soccer, tennis. I like to float, swimming is fine but I love just laying on the surface and watching the sky. I like music and dancing weather it is free form or formal. A game of pool or darts. I especially love good conversation.
