CURRENT MISSION

Rikki Tikki Tavi... to Run and Find Out!

ABOUT ME

I'm a computer person at heart. I've decided to travel and see the world after two of my friends passed away, and I realized that the education I wanted to have wasn't at the university, but in the world. I want to see what the world has to offer, and to learn, more than I want to sit in a classroom and be fed other people's opinions. I want to see it with my own two eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

See for yourself. Question everything. One of the greatest joys in life is thinking, and I intend to indulge in it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a humble recipient of other's couch space.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed friends couches in the US, people I knew online for a few years, and decided I wanted to meet in person. It's always been a great experience!

Interests

I love computers, science fiction, economics, and technology. I'm a big geeky dork, but I'm okay with that!

• education
• running
• technology
• traveling
• cars
• economics
• teaching
• science

Music, Movies, and Books

As for music, Portishead, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Tool are all favorites of mine. I'm a huge movie snob (my Dad is in theater), and I read a ton of books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There's so much, but today it was raining so hard at my house that I couldn't see three feet from the windows. The power and ferocity of the prarie storms in Texas are amazing. The rain hurts when it hits your skin, it feels like hail...parked cars have been washed off the roads. The storm was so beautiful, but I was very happy to be inside and watch from a window!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can fix up houses and computers, but only a little of both :)

I also know waaay too much about economics, and practical economic theory. If you want to know about how money or the economy works, I'm the girl to ask :)
