Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Finish school, travel, live freely, laugh, learn, love, inspire, and most importantly, to be inspired!
ABOUT ME
I'm a pretty easygoing and open minded chick. I'm still young yet, and realize how very little I actually know! This fact only motivates me to experience all that I can while i'm occupying this little speckle of dirt that we call Earth. Experience = knowledge. I love going to new places, putting myself outside of my comfort zone. I live by the "don't knock it until you try it," rule, and rather asking why, I ask why not. Music is a big part of my life, keeps my wheels turning. I'm a total goof, but i've come to terms with that :)
PHILOSOPHY
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense."
Never take yourself too seriously!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted a couple of times, great experience meeting random new people :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Stayed in Breckenridge, CO for a week. I was staying with a friend who actually rented, but I got to meet a few cool people who surfed while I was there, and was immediately excited about the idea. Genius!
