CURRENT MISSION

To feel the rush of being in unfamiliar surroundings, be intrigued by all the differences and similarities, hone my photography skills, and meet new people

ABOUT ME

I'm the girl next door: friendly, laid back, respectful. I mingle well with people and have a good sense of humor. I can be outgoing when I need to be, but also appreciate a little quiet time and solitude. I'm pretty self-sufficient and very reliable. I live in the beautiful state of Maine and truly love it here, but am so curious about other places. I've got a wanderlust that I've not yet satisfied- so much I want to see and do!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we are here to experience and express who we are/want to be in relation to any given situation or circumstance. I believe we can create, to some extent, our reality, who we are, and the life we want. I believe people are basically good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this. I joined back in 2011 but life happened and I never really took off with this couch surfing stuff. I wish I could host, but I currently live in a teeny tiny apt that is too small for a couch!! I'd be happy to play tour guide, however, to anyone visiting. I'm hoping someone at some point will be willing to let me crash on their couch in a new city.
