CURRENT MISSION

To learn how to live far outside of the nest!

ABOUT ME

I am a social creature -I'm comfortable striking up conversations with brand new people as well as old friends, and I'm about as open of a book as you could ever ask for (but no over-sharing! I promise!).
I'm creative and love to paint, sing, play guitar, dance, swim, and experience just about anything that is offered to me. I can't wait to meet people who want to show me around their towns and introduce me to new exciting things.

I like to think I have many opinions and preferences, but am open to just about anything. I'm not at all a picky eater, nor am I too tough to please. Really, I'm just a goofy girl with a quirky sense of humor who is interested in traveling around and meeting people to laugh with.

PHILOSOPHY

Any experience is an experience worth having, even the bad ones (you learn the most!).
and
I don't have beliefs, only ideas. It keeps me transient and flexible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have now both surfed and hosted, and can't wait to do more of both! Every CSer I meet makes me love this site even more. Currently, I live in an apartment with roommates who won't let me host (boooo!), but I am always down to meet cool travelers and show them my favorite spots. Once I move, I'll host more frequently and freely.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just started getting into couchsurfing, but all of my experiences so far have been incredible. I've been meeting the best people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What!? Just one!? Meet me. I'll tell you stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach crafty things like crocheting, painting, how to make friendship bracelets (!!), and many more.

I can also share a lot about unique world-views and somewhat transient theory. I've got a lot of ideas about just about everything. Just ask! I'd be more than happy to open up and share!
