CURRENT MISSION

Throughout my travels and opportunities to host, I intend on expanding my circle of friends, learning, growing as an individual, and changing others lives along the way.

ABOUT ME

I LOVE TO LAUGH! I am beyond grateful for where my journey has led me. I want to experience all that life has to offer. I push myself and encourage others to overcome fears. Many close friends and relatives would describe me as a dork, a free spirit, an introverted-extrovert, brave, and open minded. I believe that every life experience is an opportunity to learn, grow, and gain wisdom. However, for one to learn, grow, or gain they must be open, perceptive, and willing.

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone has a burden what counts is how you carry it. Fear and uncertainty are intimidating but we should never permit them to dictate our lives. Live everyday as though it was your last, laugh until you cry, and love everyone despite their flaws.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I currently have a roommate guests are a house hold decision. She and I have extremely demanding schedules. However, I am happy to host with the consent of my roommate. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several couch surfer's thus far and look forward to doing so again in the future. I think Couch surfing is ingenious. It is an awesome opportunity to meet people and travel the world.

Interests

I love to travel and see the world in real time opposed to captured stills. I love to skydive, nothing compares. I have a very intimate relationship with the outdoors and mother nature. I love to spend time with family and friends, they are my backbone. I enjoy writing/ reading when it is not a requirement. Laughter is a must. I love to help others where and when I can, there is something about giving back that gives me a warm and tingly feeling deep down inside.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all music. I don't watch a lot of TV or movies but when I do I like a little bit of everything action, comedy, and drama. I like books that onset self reflection, mysteries, thrillers, really anything that is well written.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been on my own since I was fifteen years old. I put myself through school while working both a full time and part time job. I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to travel outside of the U.S. several times over. I have jumped out of a plane more than once and lived to talk about it (hopefully this continues!). I am proof that you can become anything/ do anything you want in life... it truly is a matter of you having the will and finding a way.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is precious. It is easy to allow our everyday responsibilities, commitments, and endeavors to consume us and dictate our current and future decisions. Dictate primacy for yourself before life consumes you.

Though this experience I hope to learn more about myself, the world, and its inhabitants. I want to make a difference in others lives and hopefully through this adventure I will learn how I can not only make a difference in the lives of those I encounter but also determine how to make this world a better place.

In the future I would like to be a life coach and motivational speaker. I believe the experiences gained through this community will help me help others.
