About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Putting one foot in front of the other

ABOUT ME

Both in and out of the schoolroom, I've always been the class clown. Humor is a big part of my life. I'm more than willing to take a risk and, more often than not, make a fool of myself for the sake of a smile.

I do a lot of theater, some poetry writing and am currently studying as a history major. However, I don't believe that what you do is who you are. My most defining qualities are my openness to new ideas, my willingness to argue about anything, and my generally outgoing nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've only been a surfer, but have enjoyed it so much that I'm very open to hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with my first host in Lyon, France. I attended the INSA music festival, saw some great bands and some awesome fireworks. I also had my birthday and my host was considerate enough to bake me a cake. I love couch surfing!

Interests

I'm interested in everything, but very easily distracted.

I'm an avid reader of science fiction and fantasy. My favorite works are Endymion (and the Rise of) by Dan Simmons, the Amber series by Roger Zelawny, Lord of Light, by the same, the Darkover Novels by Marion Zimmer Bradly, anything, and everything, by Kurt Vonnegut.
