About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try as many local beers as possible in their respective homelands while spreading the deliciousness of my homemade meatloaf to as many people around the world as possible :-)

ABOUT ME

It's always hard for me to describe myself...would rather someone else, like a good friend do it for me :-P but, here goes... For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to see everything and anything in this world. If I could picture myself or my life as a world map, I want it to be filled with as many red tipped push pins as possible.

I am the epitome of a Pisces. Always caught between 2 worlds, a dreamer, caring and emotional. Not emotional like crazy and dramatic emotional...more like sappy when it comes to things of beauty and being moved by someone or something. I am a believer in the goodness of humans and like to think that everyone you meet in this life is there for a reason even if that reason seems insignificant at the time.

Laughter is one of the best parts of being human and I love to laugh as much as possible. Good friends, new and old make my life complete and without my family, I do not know where I would be.

I have crazy ambitions and in true Pisces form I want to (and have been) live the corporate America lifestyle. Work hard and play hard. And yet all the while I find myself wanting to escape all of that, put it all on hold to follow my dream and re-discover me.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just a newbie here for now, excited for the experience ahead.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - This is a tough one because there are so many! To name a few...Big Fish, The Hangover, Lord of the Rings series, Harry Potter (s), The Red Violon, Edward Scissor-hands, Braveheart...I know I am forgetting so many at the moment so I will have to update this one as I remember them.

Music - I LOVE 80's music. It may be cheesy but I grew up lisentening to it so it has many good memories for me...and its so catchy! I'm a girl who loves rock and roll (Led Zep, the Beetles, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, John Mellencamp etc) but also Alternative Rock. Of course I can't forget Fiona Apple, Sarah McLaughlin, Tori Amos and Alanis.

Books - I do enjoy reading but barely find the time. I really loved the Kite Runner, of course the Harry Potter Series ;-), The Time Traveler's Wife, East, Pray, Love and I am reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter right now and its excellent!
