About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel the entire world and visit every country on every continent. I hope to spend at least a few months in each location. I also want to meet as many interesting new people as I can and hear their stories.

ABOUT ME

Follow my adventures on IG: @mangomeow
I am kind of quiet and shy but with the right people I will open up. I love to be constantly moving. I have lived in all kinds of houses, in vans, on the streets, and traveled in all sorts of ways; greyhound bus, boat, hippie van, plane, car, hitchhiking, freight train. I have walked all kinds of lives and I love experiencing new things on a daily basis. I am very spontaneous, go with the flow, laid back, easy-going and open minded.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to get together with other Couchsurfing members to explore and make some memories =]

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been couchsurfing all over the country on my own (without the use of this site) for years, meeting many new people in many new places and it has been a blast. Since using this site I have couchsurfed all over the world and met many really awesome people and I am very happy with this site. It is a great way to meet up with new people and other travelers for some cool activities.

Interests

I love the freedom of the open road and fresh air. I am very artistic and love all mediums. I myself like to dance ballet, spin fire, sing, play ukulele, make clothing and jewelry, and photography.
I like wine, cheese, stargazing and movies. Lots and lots of movies, and music of course =] I love being outdoors; beach, exploring, hiking, camping, bonfires etc. I really want to learn new languages. Especially French.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love too many books to even start to list them or to pick favorites. Movies are easier: Waking Life, Girl Interrupted, Benny and Joon, Fantastic Planet, Scott Pilgrim VS the World, Mirrormask, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Donnie Darko, The fountain, Across The Universe, Labyrinth, Pans Labyrinth, Alice in Wonderland(the original), Boondock saints. And many many more. As far as music I will listen to almost anything. But some of my favorites are: TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Incubus, Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Damien Rice, Shpongle, Chevelle, Rebelution, Gogol Bordello, and metal. I love me some heavy metal. Lamb of God, Amon Amarth, Dethklok, Mastodon, Pantera, Children of Bodom, Korn, System of a Down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would have to say backpacking across the country with my cat and hopping a freight train on the fly was pretty exhilarating.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to learn new languages. I would love to get better at Acro yoga. I enjoy spinning fire. I think everybody can learn from each other and I hope I have something to share that you can benefit from.
