About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life and see the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm not great at self-description, but I'll try my best: I'm easy-going and cheerful and always try to see the positive in everyone and everything. I'm a bit shy but I'm working on being more outgoing and adventurous. I recently completed a bachelors degree in anthropology, though I still haven't quite decided what I want to do with that in terms of a career. I love to travel, and my goal in life is to see as much of the world as I can. Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask =)

PHILOSOPHY

"If not now, when?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed quite a lot of couches around the world =) I also try to get to local meetings when I can. Someday I should be able to start hosting as well!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some really great people through couchsurfing, and it's so great to get local advice about what to do in a new place!

Interests

I'm a bit of a geek, I like superheroes and video games and fantasy stories. I love history - being able to attach the things I read about to real places is one of my favorite parts of travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always have trouble thinking up specific examples, so I'll just try to give a general feel for what I like: I have fairly eclectic tastes when it comes to music, I'll try anything and probably enjoy it. With books I tend to prefer the fantasy genre, and I also occasionally read comics. And for movies I usually prefer epic adventure type stories or heartwarming animated films. Also musicals - I absolutely love musicals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's hard to think of just a couple things that were more amazing than the rest - I've always read about far-off places and finally getting out into the world and seeing them is the greatest feeling for me.

Learning to scuba dive in Thailand was pretty awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy learning about anything, really. I don't know what I've got to teach but I'll always do my best to share what I know.
