About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Every day is an adventure! I want to see the world and meet everyone in it.

ABOUT ME

I'm all about the adventures you never planned to have, the nights you intend to just have a couple quiet beers and end up running through alleyways at 5am climbing walls or lighting paper airplanes on fire.

I went to school for art, then I went to school for early childhood education, and now I do both.

My goal is to travel everywhere, to work with kids and always be learning.

PHILOSOPHY

If you're lost in the forest, fuck it. Build a house.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far my experiences with couchsurfing have been great, both hosting and surfing. I think the world would be a better place if everyone could trust one another enough to let them into their home for a night or two.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm not a huge movie person, but I really love Jan Svankmeijer. Music, on the other hand, I could go on about until I'm blue in the face. I love music. LOOOVE IT. There is 60 days worth of music in my iTunes and it's not even close to enough. Here's my lastfm if you want to know the specifics: http://www.last.fm/user/lyrasofia
I go to a ton of shows and am open to just about everything. I'd be more than happy to show a surfer all the great places for live music in this city!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The volcano in Iceland, still spewing ash. We stayed in a tiny farmhouse less than an hour from it and spent hours sitting in the dining room, just watching the ash cloud morph and crackle. Still gives me goosebumps to think about.
