*It has been quite some time since I have logged into this site. I wish it were for better reasons, but a 7.5 year relationship is currently leaving me without a place to go. I will update the rest of my profile later, but right now this is all about urgency. I just need a couch for a couple of nights while I get my situation sorted out.
PS - I quit smoking so just ignore that in the photo.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy girl to get along with.
Ive lived in the cornfields of IL to the streets of Chicago to the deserts of AZ and the chaos of LA.
I know what its like to be the loner and I know what the center of attention feels like.
There have been times I've been well enough off to support myself, and there have been times when I didn't know where my next meal, drink, or smoke was coming from.
I love to take care of my friends.
Ive been a vegetarian for 10 years, but I refuse to buy into the Peta generation of thinking. I do it for myself.

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule is indeed golden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, Ive been a little nonparcipitory as of late. I was traveling for 3 months, and on my return to LA, a friend in need took over the only couch I had to offer. It should be available, hopefully, soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Ive only had the chance to stay with a few hosts so far, but everyone has been amazing.
The generosity, graciousness, and camaraderie have far exceeded my expectations.

Interests

being outside my comfort zone
good music
good beer
good friends to share the prior 3 with

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just started a 3 month road trip being a dog handler/personal assistant which will most likely be the most amazing time of my life. I'll get back to you on that one.

*Update* Yep, it was pretty much one of the most amazing experiences I had thus far.
