About Me

CURRENT MISSION

The traveler's bug is genetically imprinted in my DNA!!

ABOUT ME

A lil more about me ("K") -- I have an nomadic spirit, but due to darned fears of finanical instability, I'm "stuck" with residential leases and jobs. Hey, at least I move annually. Sure does drive the parental units crazy! One day, I hope to let go all material possession and just go with my inner spirit!

I am Deaf, but speak rather well. Some have questioned whether I am European because of my "accent" -- haha. I love meeting people from all cultures -- especially one-on-one (due to my hearing loss, I have difficulty following group conversations). It would be great to have a travel buddy once in awhile. Makes photo memoirs easier to obtain ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is really short. I really want to see all the places in this world, so I'm in the process of becoming a Nomad for life, by selling off my possession (why I have so much stuff initally?!) and taking off to explore the world on what little cash I got. I do not believe that you must always have money to travel! (I hear this excuse often "I can not afford to travel.")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show you my "culture" as a Deaf American.

I admire meeting folks from anywhere and getting to know them individually. I believe it's important to learn about different cultures and individuals to expand a wider understanding and acceptance of diversity.

Interests

Culture (Anthropology major), Deaf culture around the world and their sign language, music concerts, FOOD!
