Refusing to be Normal

ABOUT ME

I like to make music and take pictures. I love Jesus. I can be a bit of a brain at times (I have 2 science degrees), but love to laugh and have fun! Travel is addicting, and I would enjoy traveling to as many places as I possibly can as long as my health and pocketbook hold out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Past experience has mainly been on the surfing side, due to living arrangements not conducive for hosting. I will be moving in the spring and should be able to host after that!

***PLEASE NOTE****
I don't host or surf with single guys, both for safety and propriety, so please don't ask. Thanks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences with hosts in a few cities already, and enjoy making new friends through CS. I haven't been able to host yet, but I've met up for a few CS outings in town. It's a great way to meet new people!

Interests

Chemistry, biology, photography, Toastmasters (public speaking), singing, songwriting, playing guitar, other cultures & languages, any church activities, reading, running, swing dancing, karate, karaoke, computers, movies, concerts, comedy, white-water rafting, and I'm sure many many other things I'm forgetting to list.

Music, Movies, and Books

Harry Potter, Star Wars, Princess Bride, etc. I own over 500 CDs (plus several thousand more songs in iTunes), an entire wall of my room is bookshelves, and have at least 3 cabinets full of movies. No way I can list them all! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite story right now is getting to pet a full-grown Bengal tiger in Thailand. Turns out they love belly rubs, too!

Teach, Learn, Share

Feel free to ask me about chemistry, karate, running, photography, and Jesus. I'm still pretty new to archery but I've learned enough I can share a bit about that as well.

I would love to learn more about music, Urdu, and Eastern worldviews. Basic medical knowledge would be helpful too. And of course anything about other cultures! I'm a travel nerd.
