About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live the life I love - experiencing new places and meeting new people, while maintaining a sense of concern for others' well being

ABOUT ME

I'm a generally happy person, who tries not to take myself too seriously. I have an appreciation for the "little things" in life and meeting and learning from people. I love a good laugh and to try new things, whether it be a new activity, food or place. I cherish my friends and family and hope that they can trust me with me with anything! When I live somewhere, I strive to be part of that community. Physical activity and eating healthily are important parts of my life. When it comes to travel, I am quite handy with a map!

After finishing my degree last spring, I decided to break free of my cubicle to travel the world!

PHILOSOPHY

To not being apathetic to the decisions and powers that affect me.....to get involved and to question.

Balance, in every part of my life so far, has equalled well being and contentment.

To never stop learning and cultivating myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing, but I've heard many good experiences from friends who have participated!

Interests

My interests include: going to live music shows, practicing yoga, baking, biking, vegetable gardening, hiking, being on or in the water (oceans, rivers and lakes), conversating, keeping up to date on current events, laughing, drinking coffee, snapping photos, dreaming of places to travel (while being focused on where I am at the moment), spending lazy afternoons in parks with friends and a picnic

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently saw a flemenco show at The Universidad de Sevilla. The singer wailed with fervor, the guitar player picked delicately at lightening speed, and the dancer was focused and passionate. It was captivating.
