ABOUT ME

I'm a Junior at a Liberal Arts University in Greencastle, Indiana. I study anthropology and gender.
Traveling makes me a happier person. I love to talk and get to know people. I love to meet new people.
I had plans to go overseas, but they fell through. North America is a big place, so I'll just stick around here for now, eh?

I'll be in Santa Fe, NM, this fall semester and cannot wait to be there!

I love to travel by train. :)

I traveled to Goa, India in Summer of 2007.

PHILOSOPHY

Things are really complicated. I fear simple answers. I really like what Langston Hughes said, "Dig and be dug in return."

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started doing CSing seriously. I love it. I've hosted, and will be surfing through Canada soon. I think this is a great network and want more!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had someone surf on my couch once. He seemed to have great experiences.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Well, I like to think that everything we see is amazing- sort of like that "One woman's trash is another woman's treasure" but for everything. But of course, certain things have touched me more than others.
Also, I'm an aunt of 2 amazing little guys and they amaze me all the time- just watching them grow up... awesome.
