CURRENT MISSION

Relax, live, enjoy. Repeat.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty laid-back person and a complete nerd. I love laughing and do it often-- I try to remember to smile at the little things, and let the big things take care of themselves. I'm pretty driven in my career and take pride in the fact that what I do makes a difference in people's lives. Encouraged by my coworkers, my mind is sinking back into the gutter, but I find it has a lot of company there, and it seems happy enough, so I only drag it out of there on special occasions. I enjoy meeting new people (but I can be shy at first) and maintaining friendships long term, and I will try anything twice. I have a strange yet undeniable weakness for singing cowboys.

PHILOSOPHY

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Active in local CS events, often host travelers, and surf with others occasionally.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a part of the Minneapolis CS community since November 2010 and I absolutely love every one of the local crew. You guys are amazing. I've been lucky enough to host a number of really interesting people and have some really interesting conversations. I've only surfed a few times, but looking forward to doing so more as I'm able to travel more!

Interests

AcroYoga. Rock climbing. Cooking. Nerdiness. Cross-country skiing. Reading. Board games (the nerdier, the better!). Biking. Camping. Canoeing/kayaking. Ice skating (I'm not very good though!) and rollerblading. Thinking. Meeting new people. Being sarcastic. Saying yes.

Music, Movies, and Books

Classic Hollywood movies (from the 1930s to the 1960s), chick flicks, kids' movies (especially Miyazaki!), girly animes (guilty pleasure), westerns (guiltier pleasure).

Folk music, Americana, Roots, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Metal, Alternative, Big Band, Celtic, Salsa, Bluegrass, Ska, Classical, pretty much anything except gangsta rap.

I'll read just about anything, but my particular favorites are fantasy, sci fi, 19th Century chick-lit, and popular psychology.
