About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Become a better person everyday. Cheesy, I know, but it's the truth!

ABOUT ME

For those of you familiar with the Myers-Briggs personality types, I am an ENFP. (For those of you not familiar you can read up about what an ENFP is here: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFP.html.) I lean heavily on my extroverted side and love to be around people. However, I do exhaust sometimes of the "meeting" people stage though rarely get tired of hanging out with those I click with.

PHILOSOPHY

We've got a lot of time to not-exist after we die. Might as well take advantage of the time now and live it up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I've hosted lots of unknown people in my lifetime, many of which were couchsurfers , I'm just getting started with "officially" using the website. I plan to actively host (if I'm anywhere appealing), surf, and maybe even do a meetup! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One time I surfed a couch, then a week later came back and surfed the same couch in a completely different location. The host had moved cities within the week that we traveled around! Ok, not the best story ever, I know, but I couldn't think what else to write. ^^

Interests

Things I like... To state the obvious: I enjoy other languages and cultures--they fascinate me. This goes hand in hand with my love of travel/new experiences. At home I thrive on estate sale/thrift store/garage sale shopping. I can frequently be found singing along to the radio, wearing funky clothes/makeup, watching bad sci-fi movies, watching awesome black and white classics or musicals, going to the theatre, taking walks (long or short) for no reason, feeding people (it's the latina in me, I guess!), doing arts and crafts, blaring really bad rap songs or any other music that is so good it's bad. And last but not least, I LOVE TO DANCE. Plain and simple: the dance is in my soul.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to lots different music (who doesn't?), but about 1/3 of my music can be defined as Country. However, if you can dance to it, I bet I like it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I tend to not be able to remember things like this on the spot...then one day I'll be telling a story and my conversation partner will be like "HOLY MOLEY! You did WHAT?!" Just another day in the life of me... :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I dance, I cook, I sing, I talk, I laugh, I smile, I cook.
