CURRENT MISSION

See the world, taste it all, have some great conversation, and wear through the soles in my shoes

ABOUT ME

Am a generally happy, easy-going, kinda girl. Not so great at the whole planning thing, but really great at the whole living thing.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't done it before, thats reason enough to try.
There are too many places yet seen, activities yet done, and people yet met for me to stay still.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I got stuck in a tight spot in New Zealand and just when it got desperate I dsiscovered couchsurfing with a friend. It turned out to be one of the best things I've ever done and was lucky enough to meet wonderful, genuine people, for whom I am forever greatful. Once we got settled, we offered what spare space we had to fellow nomads whenever possible.
Went couchsurfing through Ireland where my opinion of couchsurfing was only heightened.
Am now bouncing about India.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Amazing things happen every day! Okay here's three:
* Swimming in Puerto Rico, finding myself surrounded by a massive school of sting rays (they looked like a flock of birds flying under water...surreal)
*Blackwater rafting in New Zealand (absailing, zip lining, and whitewater rafting underground, through caves that were lit up by millions of glow worms. Yeah, seriously)
* Being chased by a mama bear in Denali National Park, Alaska. (survived, obviously, and without an actual attack)

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm... I'll teach you how to make a mean pesto sauce, a pretty solid spinach artichoke dip; hell travel has taught me how to make a feast from famine and sharing meals is something i love. Am open to learn anything, just hope to aquire something new every day.
