CURRENT MISSION

To see beauty in all things. To take each day as it comes and live each moment to the fullest. To find true happiness and discover my passions.

ABOUT ME

I wouldn't want to ruin the surprise, so you'll have to wait. Besides, how can you really sum up a life in this little box?

PHILOSOPHY

"To dance like no one is watching. To sing like no one is listening. To love like you've never been hurt." And to live like it's your last day on earth. (slightly modified quote from Souza)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After living in France for several years, I've had quite a few surfing experiences. I'd love to tell you about them over a drink! I'm really looking forward to the day when that drink can be at my house because I (finally) have the space and freedom to host. Either way, my stories are MUCH better in person. :)

Interests

I really enjoy traveling and all that it entails- meeting new people, experiencing new cultures, broadening my horizons and learning A LOT. Music is definitely one of my passions, although I am in no way musically gifted. I also really enjoy photography, but again, no real talent there.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Anything that moves me. My tastes vary and it depends on my mood, but some of my faves are Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, Radiohead, Coldplay, STS9, Morphine, Ben Kweller, The Beatles, The Dead, Tom Petty, Tori Amos, Neil Young, The Black Crowes. Really, the list goes on and on. Got anything to add? I love hearing new tunes. MOVIES: I'm a little less particular about films, but a few of my faves are Amélie, O Brother Where Art Thou, About Schmidt, Legends of the Fall, Wonder Boys, American Beauty, American History X, Natural Born Killers, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Alright, I'll stop. BOOKS: Although I really enjoy reading, I don't have any favorite books. However, some authors I've recently enjoyed are Oscar Wilde, Tim Dorsey, Mitch Albom and Erica Jong.
