ABOUT ME

I have no idea what I am doing with my life.
I have no 5-year plan. Actually, I have no 5-minute plan. And as of late, I’ve come to realize that this is okay. I’m venturing through this unknown, vast area of possibility. But I am not stuck here.
I am not in-between dreams.
I choose to roam, to be free. For now. The day will come where I find the place to settle down, but that does not mean I will settle for contentment. I will never stop searching for more. For new. For a fresh perspective.
I am not in-between choices.
I choose to explore what my heart and my soul long for. I choose to find the beauty in all things life has to offer, to wander off the beaten path of career, relationships, school, in search of the little known parts of myself.
I choose to explore all my interests, and I know I am exactly where I am meant to be, because I have walked the path to get here. I’ve conquered all obstacles, and I am still standing strong, more curious than ever.
I am not in-between direction.
It’s not that I don’t have passion. Or that I don’t have an idea of where I want to be. That I don’t have a fire lit inside of me, illuminating my walk through life. It’s there. I am an individual full of heat and warmth to spread and share. This path I choose is just more winding than others. There is more to do, more to climb, more to dream of and more space to fly.
I am not an in-between person.
I am all in.m
There is time for everything your soul desires. There is time for your day dreams to come to life. There is time to dance through the beautiful moments before you make choices.
Choose to love your in-between moments, but know that you are not choosing to be half of anything.
This is how I make my decisions, how I choose to live and be grateful and follow my curiosity to occurrences that will make me grow. Life will bring you to a path brimming with light through all the cracks, illuminating every single hint of darkness which tries to defeat it; go forward. Don’t question.
Inhale. Exhale
Just be there, for every moment, every single one, has something to offer.
Even during your in-betweens
-Carlene Kurdziel

PHILOSOPHY

Take risks! Do something at least once a day that scares you or pushes your limits. Follow the sun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people, through a local group, in my house, before I became a CS member. I have been couch surfing since I signed up. If I ever decide to stay put long enough in one place and have my own place to host then I will be very happy to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I absolutely love couchsurfing. I have met some amazing like minded people. I have seen and learned so much about many other cultures and lifestyles through the experiences with all of my wonderful hosts.

Interests

• cooking
• potluck

• surfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot! favorite thing is when someone recommends or, even better,when someone lends me a book that they enjoyed. I think the most important thing about reading books is to pass them on, share them, swap them and discuss with others. And for music, I would say the same as for books. I do think as far as music it depends on my mood, and what direction or strength I need from music, and books!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday is amazing!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

reflect and learn from all interactions with all people. Get out of your comfort zone, challenge yourself, challenge your regular routines and habits; chances are you will learn new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook meals together while enjoy hearing and sharing travel stories experiences. I love to see and experiences places thru the eyes of locals. I am more than happy to contribute whatever is appropriate in any situation.
