CURRENT MISSION

off travelling for the year!!! Usually trying to locate the best parks, free events and fun people! Dancing in the streets and biking in the rain is always a bonus!!!!

ABOUT ME

Traveler and artist. I am a collector...of thoughts, sayings, musical insturments, scraps, hobbies, memories, reminders. : ) I like to wear big sunglasses, eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches, have a favorite rock...I feel like I'm a 7 year old a lot : )

I am currently attempting to love every moment no matter what it looks like. Its been tough but it's getting easier : )

PHILOSOPHY

We all have the ability to put ourselves where we want to be. The mind is stronger than most imagine. Wherever you are is where you belong.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wrapped up a monster trip this year! Since March (2011) I've been through South America, Europe (from Copenhagen to Istanbul), southern India, Thailand and Cambodia. Now I'm feeling pretty out of place in my sweet home Chicago:)

ready to host! I'm a pretty busy gal but there's lots of room and lots of people here : )

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Crashed a few couches from Denmark to Istanbul, and one in India, thus far and have nothing but amazing things to say about it! This whole couch surfing community is just as awesome as I had expected! I can't wait to start when I finally have my own couch to share!

Interests

o goodness... making art, making music, making stuff that is neither but still looks/sounds cool, the mysteries of our earth, big ole universe, meeting and learning to understand other people, um most days I'd love to just climb up as high as I can and sit there for awhile.
