CURRENT MISSION

To find happiness and hope in the darkest of places; To accept reality but challenge existence!

ABOUT ME

I am a determined but easy-going, focused but fun-loving, safe but adventurous, independent person. I love trying new things and experiencing different places. I've got a passion for people, and everywhere I go I make connections with interesting new faces. I'm currently studying performance and learning how art can shape the world around us.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that life is what you make of it, and while there will always be struggle, there will always be an endless amount possibilities.

Never take yourself too seriously!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am trying to be a citizen of the world instead of just one country. I think that couch surfing helps people to become more aware of how alike (and different) we all are.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed a bit in Ireland, Germany, and Scotland in the winter of 2010. It was an absolutely amazing time and I am so thankful to of made such great friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well I love folk music and all the classics. Also Salsa music is great to dance to and there will always be a special place in my heart for 90's hits.

Syriana, Into the Wild, Pulp Fiction, Brick, Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, Delicatessen, Donnie Darko, Boondock Saints, Party Monster, I <3 Huckabees, and Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion come to mind among some of my favorite films.

Not that these are favorites but I'm currently rereading Kreutzer Sonata, On the Road, Harry Potter 5 (guilty pleasure), and The History of Love.
