CURRENT MISSION

I am currently trying to meet more people, discover the world, and meet some new friends abroad who could show me around! My mission to is to learn and love.

ABOUT ME

My name is Hadley Orr. I am originally from a very small town in indiana. I am very adventurous, love to travel, and love life in itself! I play college volleyball, and eventually hope to teach science in a french speaking, third world country someday. I am almost fluent in French and truly enjoy helping people and hearing their stories. When people say to "suck the marrow out of life," I try to stick to that philsophy as best as possible. I am a Christian have rediscovered life since I became one.

PHILOSOPHY

I live according to the bible, (well try my best!), but there is also plenty of knowledge that comes from other scholars that I extremely appreciate.

There is pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more
-Lord Byron
I’m thanking you, God, from a full heart,
I’m writing the book on your wonders.
I’m whistling, laughing, and jumping for joy;
I’m singing your song, High God. Psalm 9 1-2 (MSG)
“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” Tim Cahill

“I have found out that there ain’t no surer way to find out whether you like people or hate them than to travel with them.” Mark Twain

Love, serve, give, explore, experience, enjoy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am very new to couch surfing, but plan to travel more than host for the moment... because it is so difficult in college with dorms and all that stuff! However, I would be happy to show ppl around Lansing/Michigan if they would like. It's a wonderful place to be. I really hope to use couch surfing to travel around cheaply and meet new people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any yet, but hopefully very soon!

Interests

I love swing dancing, reading, art, helping people, practicing french, learning, any type of dancing, and just about anything crazy and fun! I have gone sky-diving, crowd-surfed, scuba-dived, and traveled all over the world. I have been to France, China, Haiti, Mexico, and all over the U.S. but hope to travel much more than what I do right now! When I travel, I want to discover the most hole-in-the-wall restaurants, try all local food, meet new friends, and try something new that scares me :)

Teach, Learn, Share

No matter where you go, you will always find a friend.

If you want an experience or adventure, you will find it.

Life is about living, and true life does not have to wait until after death.
