About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make the most out of potentially my last year in the US :)

ABOUT ME

A dreamer - big plans, big ideas, big everything. And often times, only a small amount of what I planned becomes true. However, I still end up having a great time no matter how things turn out :)

PHILOSOPHY

Ah...Until recently I thought I was philosophically settled, but then I got confused, then I figured it out, then I lost it. If you can call this a philosophy, this is my philosophy. What my mind tells me right now though is: Follow your heart and always look for what makes you happy. Surround yourself with people you love and life will be good. A friend of mine says that it will all make sense in the end and I thrust her on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have yet to participate. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a new to couchsurfing, but I am very excited to have my first guest and to go on my first couchsurfing trip.

Interests

The outdoors (hiking, biking, swimming, etc.), good quality cinema (and the occasional romantic comedy), theater, live music, food, history, minerals and petrology, field work, art... jumping off of cliffs in deep bodies of water, when available.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently watched The Lunchbox and The Namesake (I have yet to read the book, which from what I've heard is supposed to be very good.) In the past few months I developed a crush on Wes Anderson. Favorite movie by him - The Royal Tenenbaums. Currently reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I love going to concerts. There aren't many things that feel better than a crowd of people that shares your taste in music. Recently went to see The Jezabels whose lead singer had the best dance moves I have seen in a while. Hugh Laurie warmed my soul in October 2013. Will see Stromae in September this year (can't wait.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I biked 750 km around Bulgaria for about 8 days. Next on the list is coming to the States.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have one or two crazy stories to share that taught me lessons that I could have read in any book that teaches what you are not supposed to do in life. I like to think that I learn from experience. I make life hard for myself on purpose (sometimes) and unintentionally (most often).

Countries I’ve Visited
