CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to get out and see as much as possible, experience everything I am able to, and try to live to tell stories about it. Travel is my passion and new experiences are my drugs. The world is rich, I want in on the wealth.

ABOUT ME

Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies!

No, but really, my life is an open book. I find myself to be an extremely open and laid back person. I am all about throwing myself headfirst into new and crazy situations. I am currently living in my fifth country and working on my upteenth language (shame I can't actually remember them all!). I am so passionate about breaking out of one's shell and just living. Delving headfirst into unknown situations is what I do best. I am currently teaching in Seoul and I have really enjoyed learning more about the Korean culture. I am from a small town in Northern Michigan, and I wouldn't change growing up there at all, but now, all I want to do is get out and see as much of everything as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Ghandi says it best: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I act, because to not is to be static...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am newish to couch surfing. I have heard great feedback about it, though, and I'm really looking forward to my future experiences with it.

Interests

I wish I could put 'everything' here, but that is pretentious. I honestly have so many interests, and I am also open to 'almost' anything, it would be silly for me to post them all. At the end of the day all that matters is that I like to 'try' and I'm not afraid to 'fail'.
