I have experienced a lot in life, but I'm not sure you could say I've seen a lot. That I'm trying to change.

I love trying new things, so anyone who wants to join in for a new adventure give me a shout. That especially applies to food! I love, love, love (did I say love?) trying new food. i do not discriminate, except for fast food franchises or franchises in general maybe.

I also enjoy just anything original or unique to a place: arts, culture, music (DEFINITELY MUSIC), architecture, dive bars, hole in the wall restaurants (did I mention food?), and all sorts of other random and interesting things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Life's about sharing. It's like breaking a world record, if there's no one to see you do it then it doesn't count! I want to share as many things as possible with as many people as possible. I love a good story, and tell really, really long ones myself.

I like the idea of people taking chances on human beings. That's why I like this site so much.

You also can't really gain perspective in a sheik hotel room. I wanna be in the midst of it all and see any part of the world through the eyes of those most rooted in it. So, show me what home looks like to you and I'll do the same.

Interests

Conversations, porch sitting, the outdoors, living responsibly/consciously, live music, new places, new food, new experiences, new people.

Anything new, or anything that I can't do at home, or that i can only do right in that moment. I love taking advantage of all the opportunities that present themselves everyday. Screw what if's, I operate in a 'done did it' state of mind.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I listen to everything: lots of folk, americana, indie, singer songwriter stuff, but also secretly love lots of girl power songs for some reason.

Movies - Everything except horror. Favorite is Braveheart.
TV shows - Game of Thrones and Walking Dead.

Books - I write more than I read. Dunno if that's good or bad. Feel free to visit my blog manallthefeels.wordpress.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I typically do more things people would consider crazy: jumping in frozen rivers, eating fried cow balls, basically anything that involves torturing my body, etc.

I did put together my own 5k to raise money for a scholarship at my work previously. I really enjoyed that and would like to do something similar again one day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach, and I still very much enjoy helping others in a way possible.

I've played about every sport imaginable too, so I can usually do something with that or exercise.

I learned how to build a log cabin, and would love to do something with that one day.

I used to play a mean game of Asshole back in college.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open mind. A genuine smile. Really long stories. Up for just about anything. Really easy going and low maintenance.
