About Me

CURRENT MISSION

meet the wonderful people of this world!

ABOUT ME

It doesn't take much to make me happy. I like to think that I'm an easy going kinda girl and love to have a good time. I love to make people laugh! Some call me crazy and to tell the truth, I am haha I'm always pretty much down for anything.. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures, I feel like it makes you a well rounded individual!

PHILOSOPHY

Karma is a bitch.. just remember that..
Don't judge someone before giving them the time of day..
And at the end of the day, its up to you to get what's right for you, so don't let others opinions of you get you down..
Just be yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really wish I would have been able to open up my apartment in Wisconsin once I got back, but due to roommates not being as open-minded as me, and thinking it was not a good idea, I had to pass. I still met with people for coffee or with other CS that were opening their houses. I'm hoping that once I get more familiar with Seoul, I can open my tiny apartment to the wonderful travelers that venture this way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first joined CS when I heard about it right before I was going to start traveling around central and eastern Europe. I have to say that this is one of the best sites I have joined.. ever! I met a lot of great people and learned a lot about the countries that I visited, and that is something no one can ever take away from me! This site is really amazing in ways you can only find through experience.

Interests

**music soothes the soul. Concerts are one of my all time favorite pass times!
*laughing is always good for you!
*occasionally people watching (come on, it's fun..)
*dancing.. who ever said you had to be a professional to enjoy it haha
*TRAVELING!! (I think that one is a given)
*teaching. I have an degree in Education and now that I am actually in a classroom, I'm loving it! It's one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself, and the kids are amazing! (they can be little shits, but hey. can't we all?)
