CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a 33 year-old gal who who has been busy collecting degrees for awhile. I would probably be described as fun, silly, spontaneous, intelligent, passionate, serious or quirky, depending on what mood I am in. I am an avid adventurer and am excited about taking advantage of all this site has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

"If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying? If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?" ~ Shantideva

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I have couch surfed in California and attended several CS events in my hometown. However, I am relatively new to this site so I am looking forward to having some more CouchSurfing experiences to write about!

Interests

I’m a big fan of intelligent conversation and debate, things that give me an adrenaline rush (i.e. roller coasters), movies, photography, good food, things in the water (both scuba-diving and para-sailing are on the to-do list), cooking, ballroom dancing, traveling, hanging out with friends, good food, staying close with my family… and much more.
