CURRENT MISSION

to learn as much as i can!

ABOUT ME

Just as a little note: I DO NOT LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY...felt I should add this since I dont want people to waste their time with a request when they really just want to go to NYC.

Well I love to meet new people! Im very inquisitive and I enjoy learning what makes people who they are. Travel is a must! We live on a beautiful planet and since pictures rarely do any gorgeous view justice, I would love to keep finding them till I cant walk or run out of money, whichever happens first. Couchsurfing helps with that second one a lot. I love to laugh and make people laugh and if I had the courage I would try to do stand-up. I love variation and will try most things (I would say all, but I think straight blood would be off my list). For example I ate snails and they were delicious, and I would also like to go skydiving. I love my family a ton..they share in each of my accomplishments and help me through each trial.

PHILOSOPHY

another zinger!!

I'll let the great say it for me:

"The question is not how to survive, but how to thrive with passion, compassion, humor, and style." - Maya Angelou

i want to discover the truth thats meant for me, and to always remain open and compassionate to difference of belief, feeling, and conviction.

being bored is a waste of time, you can contribute something!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My sister Lucy and I shared an account during our monthlong trip to Europe and we had a great time with our hosts. I have traveled with friends and surfed with them and have also surfed alone..only becoming and bigger and bigger fan of this community! I am excited to finally be on the hosting side of couchsurfing! Sorry I dont live in a cooler city folks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was priceless! The coolest girl! She actually told some other girls that they could stay at the same time, but it was awesome because we all just partied together. Because of lack of space, I slept in her bed the first night and we just stayed up talking and laughing for mad long (partly cause i was overtired, but mostly cause she was hilarious)! anyway she was a huge factor in forming my enthusiastic opinion of Couchsurfing. Not to mention my favorite Parisian host who I have stayed with as a surfer and subsequently as a friend!

Interests

macaroni and cheese...haha, this is such a hard subject to list.
well i like to stay active and have always loved sports (lacrosse, basketball, football, ultimate frisbee)
of course seeing new places and trying new foods!
I enjoy reading, listening to the music that fits my mood or activity, and being around people who like to laugh and be real. I would love to continue trying to learn guitar but cannot put too much time into that, as I am focused on training for a triathlon coming up.
