About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To do nothing and rest afterward.

ABOUT ME

NO LONGER HOSTING through CouchSurfing, but will keep my profile up. Look for me at BeWelcome

http://www.bewelcome.org/members/FSheehan

Won't put my life story here, but obviously I love to travel, meet people and show people my city--wouldn't be on CouchSurfing otherwise. Other things about me in no particular order. Grew up in Washington D.C., very familiar with it and the surrounding areas. Come from large family, have lived in several group houses and stayed at many hostels--know what it's like to share a place with many people/strangers. I'm best appreciated in small doses. Love Europe, but France in particular--would like to live there. Would also like to see China. I like food, but I don't know how to cook (I can follow recipes though, maybe you can cook for me). Sheepish about somethings and adventurous about others. Sometimes love being alone, other times very gregarious. Horrible dancer, would love to learn. Very good at lying around and doing nothing. Love the sound of falling water and cicadas (not necessarily together). Love being outdoors. Really good at sleeping almost anywhere--even standing. Love birds (not a bird watcher though). Like some sports... college football, soccer and tennis. Remember my dreams nearly every night and love sharing them with people. Love Family Guy, don't understand people who don't like it. Will add more to this list as stuff comes to me.

PHILOSOPHY

A John Barrymore quote sort of sums up my personal philosophy... "A person is not old until regrets take the place of dreams." So I guess, follow your dreams.
