About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have a healthy disregard for the impossible

ABOUT ME

I love traveling all over the world, hiking mountains, camping at national parks, laughing, swimming in the mediterrean sea, fishing for sharks, enhancing my domestic skills, volunteering with little kids, trying new restaurants, taking photos, watching movies, ballroom dancing, country music, singing loudly in the car, white water rafting, amazing conversations, dinosaurs, hot showers, funny jokes, being silly, elephant riding, hot air balloons, oldies music, foliage, reading, and rolling down hills.

PHILOSOPHY

Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.
-- George Bernard Shaw

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was this year in Copenhagen, then I couchsurfed in Estonia and Russia. I love the local people that I meet, and the local culture and food that I get to embrace.
