ABOUT ME

I took a chance on life in 2009 and went from working to following my heart and intuition, which lead me to an open road with endless possibilities.

My friends would describe me as open-minded and a free spirit. I love to laugh and listen to stories, especially about TRAVELING.

I have a big heart for people and animals. My parents constantly call me Ellie Mae because animals are always following me home.

I graduated college a few years ago. I love to learn and figured that traveling is a great way to expand my education and to learn from others.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everyone has a purpose. I think that people should find out what they want from life and go after their dreams. I feel that by taking risks and pushing ourselves we gain the key to success and happiness. I try to learn as much as I can about people, myself, and the world. I value my family and friends. I believe that there is nothing better than quality time with those we care about and love.

These quotes also help to describe my philosphy:

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Real success is finding your lifework in the work that you love.

Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I recently joined couch surfing this past year and have found it to be AMAZING. I have couch surfed and have meet up just to hang out and learn from the "LOCALS". I feel the "LOCALS" have more knowledge than most travel books. I have found that couch surfing has changed the dynamic of my advenure for the better and the only thing I can say is....WHY didn't I start couch surfing sooner.
