CURRENT MISSION

I want to live life to the fullest! More specifically I want to go back to school (for auto mechanics & jewelry making, probably not at the same time), learn to play the accordion, and take up running again. And see as much of the world as I can!

ABOUT ME

I am short, with short hair, and an increasing number of tattoos. I can be shy, admittedly, but have gotten past quite a lot of that in the last few months with my travels. I am extremely easygoing, really. Honesty is numero uno in my book, I can't live happily if I am not honest, and I wish for all others to be the same. I am also very kind, loving, fun loving, and possibly a bit silly at times. Love to be around people and experience new things, but I also highly value moments of peace and solitude. I don't think myself or anyone can truly portray themselves in these little blurbs because every day we change and grow, hopefully for the better. So, I am ever changing and always learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind, be honest, be loving. Be aware of yourself and the impact you have the others around you and the planet that is our home. Don't waste time on hate or anger, or negativity. Help others when you can because you know damn well that you will need help at times too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently only in the position to surf and not host because of a good long trip. I gave up my apartment (and my couch) to travel for a while. I will be able to participate as a host in the future though, and I certainly will do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm working on creating some...

Interests

I live near the beach and love to take my dog on sandy runs and hikes. I love to hang out with friends, live music and events are always fun! I like to spend time with my friends but solitude is also of great value to me. As far as hobbies i bead jewelry and aspire to learn more in the way of jewelry making. Reading is also a favorite pastime. all and all i think i am just interested in living and loving it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ONE amazing thing. That can be difficult to choose. I can easily say skydiving was pretty amazing...so for now that will have to do, but I will top that ;).

Teach, Learn, Share

Though I am always wanting to learn I feel unsure of what I have to teach in return. I can make pie, and scones. I do want to learn more baking, I find it fun, soothing, delicious and a good way to bring people happiness. I am happy to share any knowledge I have on anything :)
