CURRENT MISSION

One day at a time.. live in the moment.

ABOUT ME

***WILL NOT HOST FOR SXSW***MARCH.7-MARCH.16******
Hello there fellow kindred spirits, My name is Brooke and I currently live in Austin,TX and absolutely love it here. It's probably one of the best cities in Texas in my opinion.

I live with 3 other badass ladies, and whoever else happens to be living with us at the time. I can honestly say I live with my best friends, and never really have to go out because of it.

I work as a Barista at cherrywood coffee house and work front desk at a crossfit/mma gym in downtown ATX, (I'm currently working on being able to kick ass if need be ; ) . I randomly pedicab events downtown, and love all the weirdos it attracts and the random things that go on in the life of pedicabbing.

I'm currently a student, going for my BSN at TX state and currently in the surgical tech program at Austin Community College, I'm also working on my CNA and Doula certification. Anything in the health industry is super interesting to me, and my whole motivation with it is to take it overseas to volunteer with programs like doctor's across borders.

I'm really into the outdoors, and a little obsessed with taking photos of my pup, (Boo) He's going to need his own instagram soon. I tend to load up my truck with Boo and go camping on a whim so if you're in town and interested just let me know! I'll make an excuse for a road trip where hiking is involved. I'm also really into trail running, and just completed my first trail marathon and then went on to do a trail ultramarathon 50k in big bend this year. A lot of great trails out and around austin for running, or mountain biking.There's also a ton of great natural springs and some great places to rock climb, if you happen to be interested.

I love to travel but having to shift focus on school for the time being, however my next big trip will be to backpack India from Dec.14'-March 15' after completing my final pre-requisites for the surgical tech program, I'm going to take a break before starting the clinicals. So far I have a few friends that are interested but would love to meet up with other backpackers and couch surfers that might be wanting to explore india with a group, so please message me if at all interested!

Overall I want good things in the world and trying to "be" about it not just talk about it. I'm pretty busy, but I love meeting good hearted people, and welcoming in travelers. Even if I don't have much time to spend with my couch surfers, I'll point them to cool places worth exploring in atx and socialize them with my housemates that love to entertain as well, there's a really great community in ATX, everyone's really supportive, and there's a wide variety of art and music. I can't always host due to my house already being pretty crowded, but I try to meet up with surfers for drinks and coffee when I can.

we can all do something, we can all learn to love well.

PHILOSOPHY

loaded question, still in wonder..still full of questions, I think I'm getting somewhere...

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting people anytime I have a couch. Either over night,for some drinks,coffee and a good chat.I'm hoping to utilize CS more as I travel about.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a group of 15 people and had a blast. They spent the night at the coffee shop I worked at as well as my house, they were super sweet people. Hoping to surf and host more often.

Música, películas y libros

Books- I know it's lame but I really enjoy reading about running..as in ultramarathon athletes, and triathlon athletes. I also enjoy a good travel memoir, I enjoy spiritual readings, poetry, sufi's, religious exploration, holistic health practices and I'm usually open to cracking open anything..so send some good suggestions my way!
