About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe. ~Anatole France

ABOUT ME

Nothing makes me feel better than traveling, BUT its been sometime since I did any trips. During college I went on a sea kayaking trip in the Florida Everglades and Keys. The next year I traveled to the West of Ireland for a history/biology short term course. I finished college and haven't traveled since!

I am planning another trip to the West of Ireland and I am looking for hosts. I will be traveling with my older sister who is writing a graphic/comic novel. She wants to see the Western landscape of Ireland for inspiration. She's an incredible artist and I would love to share with her the experience of County Mayo, Galway, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moor etc

Personally, I am a mix of out going and introverted. I love nature, wild and quiet places, but seeing new places cities or towns change me, always for the better. I love learning anything historically, biologically, etc about any new place.

PHILOSOPHY

Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy! ~Ms.Frizzle

I like to pick up trash when I go hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people and getting new experiences. I am looking for my a future place to live, or maybe several different future places to live. No matter what, traveling takes my worries away!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's been an excellent experience. I've done it several times now, and it has deepened my trust in the universe. I stayed with 4 people on my trip across the US. I look forward to doing it again.

Interests

I like to play, read, hike, paint, write, dance, eat wild things, cook, take late night walks. I would like to spend my future time traveling, learning a language, writing, creating art and anything else that comes my way. I also really like business and marketing but I have no idea how that will play in my life, :D
