ABOUT ME

I am a pretty zainy girl. I love to take chances and just love people for who they are. I have only been given one life by God and I plan to use it to do the best for others and this earth.

Please check out my blog, which has a lot to say about who I am and what I have done---a direct line to my heart and mind.

PHILOSOPHY

The reason I live my life is for Jesus Christ - meaning I try to live for others and stick close to the truth. I love to discuss any and all subjects and think that with more dialogue, people can begin to understand one another better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I primarily surf, but if anyone wants to come to the wilds of Wisconsin, USA, I would be a more than willing and happy host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed my way through the Netherlands and Germany, which was fabulous. I stayed with a wonderful host in Poland, and enjoyed the company of some great people in Dubai. I have communicated with several other CSers and it really seems like an amazing community of people who are the most travel savvy people I have encountered.

Music, Movies, and Books

There are too many. I love classic rock from the 60's and 70's and love books and movies that make you think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been to 37 countries and counting. My goal is 50 countries by 30 years old. I have seen desert sunsets, mountain peaks, crystal blue lakes, snowy wonderlands and plush forests. I have run 8 half-marathons. I am a vegetarian and have invented too many recipes to count.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to teach people to cook and to think more about the truth and not about religion. I want to learn Arabic and Spanish and how to cook Indian food. I love to share my travels, my life, possessions and the Bible.
