CURRENT MISSION

BECOME A GLOBAL CITIZEN. Meet, greet, talk, understand, see other people/cultures/countries while I'm young.

ABOUT ME

I want to create and strengthen my current global network. Meaning, I'd like to meet new people, get an idea of what their world is like, and open up my world to them. I think exchange of culture is really quite important in this day-and-age. Plus, I love traveling.
I'm an art student.
I love all sorts of music.
Poetry = I dig.
I'm very athletic. So I really enjoy anything that gets my heart pumping (skiing, hiking, biking, running, dancing, snowshoeing, walking, rockclimbing--even though i'm really a novice--swimming, etc).
Sometimes, I love a good party + good alcohol + good conversation + good music + good dance situation + a possible cigarette.

...THAT SAID, I am a born conversationalist and enjoy the low-key just as much, if not more at times.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe very deeply in karma and the importance of emitting positive energy into the world, but I don't think that you should be kind just in hopes of getting kindness in return. I think that being 'real,' honest, and genuinely kind is rewarding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted and met up with some people...and I'm really bummed that I am not able to host anyone at this time (tricky roommate situation--all will be resolved in a year when I get out of the lease!). :(

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am about to embark upon my FIRST couchsurfing (being hosted) experience--I'll fill you in later! :)
