CURRENT MISSION

To experience other cultures, dance my heart out, and to meet/mingle with locals in small interesting communities.

ABOUT ME

I was recently bit by a travel bug and need to get moving... I've been in WV too long. I'm always looking to be outside and keeping busy. One of my absolute favorite things to do is dance to live music or get a community event happening (like locals soccer or full moon skis). I love to share my hometown with others, cause honestly, I thinks its one of the best places around...

PHILOSOPHY

Amelia Earhart pretty much sums it up....

“Some of us have great runways already built for us. If you have one, take off. But if you don't have one, realize it is your responsibility to grab a shovel and build one for yourself and for those who will follow after you.”

“Experiment! Meet new people. That’s better than any college education... By adventuring; about, you become accustomed to the unexpected. The unexpected then becomes what it really is . . . the inevitable.”

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
New to it all, but love the little bit I've done. No better way to get to know an area than see it through the eyes of a local.

兴趣

All things adventure or outdoors... skiing, climbing, boating, hiking, caving, etc... Dancing may also be one of my biggest passions and I'm always keen to try new things as well!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Spent a week backpacking through Mexico and accidentally won a dance competition (in a grocery store). Moved to Australia for a year to become a jillaroo.

教，学，和分享

Depending on the season, I could teach an array of outdoor skills, from boating to telemark skiing to Appalachian dances to horseback riding/jumping. I love sharing my knowledge with others, it's why I work in the Adventure Education field. Learning just by reading about something is 90% a waste of my time... I need human interaction, communication, and demonstration for anything to sink in.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

The slightest of hopes that the US isn't completely worthless, there are some amazing places if you look close enough. Or, better yet, I can cook you a delicious meal!
