Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
"Not all who wander are lost"......Awareness
ABOUT ME
I love to smile and to laugh...I can't help it most of the time :)
Grew up in the countryside of Michigan, so I know a thing or two about gardening and animals...I Love Nature! I love wandering around...alone or accompanied is great fun!
I enjoy interesting conversations, I'm really passionate about philosophy, sustainable, local agriculture and ways of living, horses, music, and learning new things!
I am a twin. (Fraternal)
PHILOSOPHY
Every moment is a unique experience and is a reason to celebrate life :)
LOVE is my personal philosophy and religion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Taking in travelers, learning so that I can give back...and meeting people!
Stayed with some of the best people when traveled through Mexico, France, Germany, Chile, and Argentina :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Hosted for the first time in May 2010, and then met wonderful families in México in June and July 2010 when traveling through the country. I also stayed with couchsurfers in France and Germany. Have hosted since then and been taken in when traveling in Santiago, Chile and Mendoza, Argentina.
Actually, through all my travels, I have only met wonderful people and friends!

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies: Must have a bit of genius behind it...even if the ending is really obvious, it's not about the destination, but the journey. Also, don't care about horror movies.
Music: Anything that makes me want to dance! and sing (but singing isn't my forte, so be warned)... I love all types (cliche country I can do without, though)...especially Classical and Traditional/folk.
Books: HIGHLY recommend "A Sand County Almanac and Sketches Here and There" by Aldo Leopold...love too many books to list here--interested in reading anything
