About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive the Snow :-(

ABOUT ME

I have graduated from college and work a steady 7-3 monday through friday, which leaves me open to travel fri-sun within a 12 hour radius of my house. I love meeting new people and since my ability to travel is stifled by my sweet job, cool people must come to me. The biggest thrill for me is to sit with someone who I barely know and talk about our lives. Everyone has a different story and different experiences and it's exciting to learn about them this way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Any way that I can. So far I've met tons of people both through couchsurfing or having couchsurfing come up in conversations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few people surf the couch, all of which were a joy to meet!

Interests

My current obsession in Geocaching...it's Urban Scavenger hunting...it's so much fun to do, especially in big cities where you want to have fun but are low on cash.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies and I, we get along pretty well, so I try not to choose favorites just in case one gets jealous.
The most recent book I read was quite witty, it is called The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists: A Novel by Gideon Defoe though I just started reading Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.
Music I like: The Hives, Scissor Sisters, Duffy, Santogold, Arcade Fire, Bob Segar, Sammy Davis Jr. Amy Winehouse, The White Stripes, Glassjaw. I will listen and love just about anything.
