ABOUT ME

Im a 31 year old female. I have been in the Army National Guard since I was 17. I deployed to Iraq in 2003-2004. I have never really been a militant person, I was drawn to military service because I love to volunteer and help people. I decided a long time ago that life is short and its not about how many physical possessions we own but by how much we give back to our fellow man. Its about the experiences we have. I consider myself a Buddhist and a simple person.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being a respectful and courteous surfer and by offering a place to sleep whenever I actually can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I do not have any formal couch surfing experience but have surfed many times on the couches of "friends of friends" through world of mouth. Im hoping to change that and legitimize my couch surfing experiences.

Interests

I LOVE bikes!! I love riding them, fixing them, giving them away to those who may not be able to afford one. I also love hiking, camping, and documentary films. I like gardening and creating ways to be more sustainable. Mostly I love being simple, and happy.
