CURRENT MISSION

Accept chaos, learn from chaos.

ABOUT ME

I think my best quality is being well-rounded. I could never just settle on one thing. I'm constantly learning, changing my mind, starting new things, making new friends and going new places. I'm open-minded, always up for anything, and have so many different friends whom I'm close to. I am very creative, in art and in life in general. I think about all situations in many different ways and don't just look at them from my point of view. I know I can't possibly do everything, meet everyone, go everywhere and learn all their is to know in one lifetime, but I certainly intend to try.

PHILOSOPHY

The more you learn, the less you know.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far, I have just surfed...but I hope to host once I'm back in the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My experiences with CS have been great so far! I didn't really understand what CS was when I first joined, and I have learned so much in the few short months that I have been a part of the wonderful CS community. I've met extremely nice people and had great places to stay while traveling. I've realized that the host really can make your experience in a city, giving you insights and bringing you a unique experience as part of your travels. CS is such a cool concept and it is amazing that it allows you to connect with people all over the world!

Intereses

Art makes my life worth living. From the masterpieces of years past or the little artistic things I see in everyday life, I see art and communication in everything I do. I spend my time making art, learning about whatever I can, reading, traveling, and spending time with people who make life interesting, exciting, and who care about the world, just like I do.

Algo increíble que he hecho

My top awestruck moment was my first trip while studying abroad to Sagres, Portugal. A bunch of friends and I were skinny dipping in the Atlantic ocean and I looked up at the stars and was amazed by how many I could see and how breathtakingly gorgeous they were. I had never seen so many stars clustered in the sky before.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

At my job in the States, I am a software trainer so I can teach Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, along with a bunch of other software programs. I can also teach you about art....how to draw a portrait, color theory, photography.

I am a life-long learner and I truly believe I learn something new everyday...so teach me something, surprise me, and make me want to know more about something I've never heard of before!
