I love....

traveling.
transforming hard clay into something beautiful.
having dirt under my fingernails.
cooking.
meeting people.
interacting with animals.
farmer tan lines.

I am ambitious and try to be one to follow through. I am passionate, always smiling, adventurous, personable, and experienced. I have been vegetarian for 9 years, and vegan for 2. I'm active outside all the time, keep a tidy living space, love animals, and love the unpredictability of travel. It is so against the normal American lifestyle. Perhaps that's why I love it so much. In South America the bus comes at 8? Haha, more like 10:34.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend Yola is coming to learn about AMERICAN culture for 2 months. She speaks decent English, but lacks the practice. I've perpetuated rumors about everyone having a gun holster and taking like they've got a stick stuck in their mouth.. so I want to show her real America. I want to introduce her to nice, open-minded people, who are happy with their lives and not afraid of the outside world.
