About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world and avoid being stagnant for as long as possible.

ABOUT ME

If I could travel the world for my entire life, I completely would. I know I will never get to see everything there is to see but I see no harm in trying to do so!

I graduated college in May 2011, went up to Alaska to work in the summer in order to make money for my traveling starting in late August and going through mid-October. I will be traveling with my family and best friend at first, through the first week of September, which is when my friend, brother and I break off to travel for a week. Then my boyfriend will meet up with us and my brother will go home, leaving me with my two favorite boys until we all go home in October. It will be quite the adventure and I am thrilled to be sharing it with these people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am here mostly to find places to stay while I am in Europe. Two friends (both male) and I will be traveling for two months starting in late August and need to keep our costs down as much as possible! Once I am back home, I am more than happy to host others if needed, however, I am only looking to surf right now.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed on friends' couches. This is a brand new experience and I hope it will be a good one!

Music, Movies, and Books

i can't even begin to list.

i will watch anything once, but i do have a few to go back to when the mood strikes.

i can dance to almost anything (and will, so watch out).
i like many types of music (electronic, techno, indie rock, trip-hop, gangsta rap, classical, the list goes on...)
and hate only a few (american country and teen pop to be exact)

i read as often as i can and like a mix of classics, thinkers, and easy reads.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i have built houses for the poor in Mexico, seen where Lord of the Rings was filmed in New Zealand, seen darkness for only a half hour a day in Alaska and spontaneously driven 900 miles for a weekend trip to San Francisco. and they just keep coming...

my current trip around europe is also quite amazing, and although stressful at times, i know it will be the experience of a lifetime when i'm through!

Teach, Learn, Share

i am more than willing to share my skills with you! i may not have many but i can teach you to mend your clothes, make a killer macaroni & cheese and how to know if someone is making fun of you in Spanish!
