CURRENT MISSION

Get by. Give back. Have fun!

ABOUT ME

I am working full time and finally able to open my home to couchsurfers. I have 2 cats and 2 turtles. I love to find new places to visit and I love to meet new people. Couch surfing was good to me when I was on my road trip and I hope to be able to pay it forward to travelers who need a place in my area.

** For safety purposes, I am NOT hosting single male travelers. Sorry boys! **

"The person who has lived the most is not the one with the most years but the one with the richest experiences."

PHILOSOPHY

Have you had your ADVENTURE today?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

in 2011 I took a 2.5 month trip that took me to 39 states! It was a great way to see my country and meet some new people. I have also done some local meetups with some CS groups. I am all about meeting new people so every aspect of this sounds amazing!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some of the greatest people through CS! People who have taken me in and treated me like family. I had no idea how much fun Couch Surfing could be and how much I could learn from all of the people and places I have had an opportunity to visit!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an odd group of music favorites but some include: Chromeo, Halestorm, Silvertide, Kelly Clarkson, Stacie Orrico, Whitney Houston, and anything country!

Books...I just joined a book club so I will pretty much read anything but I do like a good romantic comedy.

Movies...I think going to the movies is the best thing ever! But to name a few of my favorites: Men of Honor, Maid of Honor, The 10th Kingdom, Pretty Woman, U571, Avatar, Bolt, How to Train Your Dragon, Parent Trap, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 I made a list of things to see and do in Florida. Things I had said I was going to do for years and just never did. I made it my "resolutions list" and the list grew to 39 things! By the end of the year I had all of my friends involved in going on my different adventures across FL and by December 31st the whole list was done!

Looking back I still don't know how we were able to do the entire list! It's amazing what can be done when you have good people around you and a little determination!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a different way of looking at the world. I see things for what they could be or should be, not for what they seem to be. I have a positive outlook on life and I have a need to see the world and discover the people, cultures, and customs in each area.

What I Can Share with Hosts
