CURRENT MISSION

To be dynamic, learn strength and wisdom through experiencing new things, express joy and create art every day, love all things unconditionally, and build community where ever I am.

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty easy going but high energy individual who loves filling every moment with fun. I am always up for adventure. The things that I find most fulfilling in my life are my friends,family,and community; creating art and appreciating that of others; snowboarding, dancing, music, and good food. In my life I am always searching for those moments that yell out at the top of their lungs and tell us that we are alive. No matter what form they come in I believe that these moments teach me the most about myself and the amazing world that we live in.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem! Live life for love. Create, Enjoy, Dance in the Rain. Spontaneity is the spice of life, friends give it substance, spirit gives it depth and beauty, and giving back makes it whole.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed some couches when I was in Europe and when I came back I was staying with family and was not able to host but I am proud to announce that I am finally able to reciprocate the awesome hospitality I have been shown and am really looking forward to having surfers at my home!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It started with my friend in Albuquerque.I have gone to a couple of couch surfing get togethers in Albuquerque. (Like a mustache and hat party, or Explora adult night-Explora is a totally fun kids science museum)I have also hung out with my friend while she had couch surfers and it was a boat load of fun!!! I have surfed a couple of times in Europe and am glad that I have just gotten into a house where I can now host.
