CURRENT MISSION

Exploring and meeting new people- hopefully you?

ABOUT ME

Surprisingly bitter for being so idealistic- in other words, I'm a very happy, smiley person that often says morose and sarcastic things. Right now I'm taking a year or two off before starting law school, and before you shudder at the thought of having a future lawyer crash or your couch or vice versa, I'm going to be an environmental lawyer. That's right, crazy-mad karma and little cash. Anyways, I've just completed degrees in environmental studies and English so if you want to talk global warming or books- I always do. Also, I love telling and listening to stories as well as living story-worthy adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Suppressing the urge to relate one of those oh so inspiring but widely known quotes. Ahhh, can't hold it back: "Be the change you wish to see in the world" -Gandhi.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just getting started. Right now I'm traveling, but when I get back I hope to host people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best way to connect with someone doesn't necessarily require spending a day in their shoes, I find that a night or two on their couch also gets the job done. I've made some incredible friends and have only had positive experiences.

Interests

Chatting, dancing, exploring, hiking, reading, running, jump-running, petting dogs, backpacking, sun-bathing, new places, studying, adventures, people, family, friends, music, laughing...

Music, Movies, and Books

Big time Bob Marley fan-which I probably owe to my parents. I like a lot of music, not all of which I'm proud of (Justin Timberlake, Enrique Iglesias, Lil Wayne, Juanes, Toby Keith).

Movies: The Harder They Come, The Goonies, The Last Unicorn, Life is Beautiful, Princess Bride

Books: anything Jane Austen, Alexandre Dumas, Dracula, Confederacy of Dunces, Catch 22, Invisible Man, I Capture the Castle, The Autobiography of Malcolm X, and Twilight (I can explain myself).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended an art school in Havana, Cuba for a semester. Pretty much amazing- even with my overwhelming lack of artistic talent.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really good at book recommendations. Tell me a little about yourself, and I can help you to find some really good books.

Spanish! I'm not going to lie, this has drastically declined lately and I want it back. Practice speaking would definitely help.

Dancing skills-what I lack in skill, I make up for with enthusiasm-but it's fun and I would like to get better, especially at salsa dancing.
