About Me
CURRENT MISSION
to live and experience
ABOUT ME
I love food with all of my heart. That love of food that I have goes perfect with a love of traveling. I haven't got to travel as much as I've wanted to, but i'm changing that now. Throughout my life, I have not been able to afford all the trips I have wanted to go on. However, I have been saving and I'm ready to travel as many places as I can.
Also, I am pretty down to earth. I like talking to people and meeting new people. Experiencing things with people is one of my favorite things to do. Those things can be crazy activities like jumping off of cliffs, having a meal together or going on an awesome hike.
Other things about me...I am kinda short and wish I was just a bit taller. haha I spend most of my time in Las Vegas working at the college I go to (University of Nevada, Las Vegas).
I love tea.
PHILOSOPHY
i live my life so i can experience things...i'm not into buying things or having nice possessions...i'm into experiencing. And it's great to do this with other people. I think this website, in a way, is all about that. We all live on the same planet which i think indirectly tells us to try and get along. Let's share and experience each others wonders and learn from each other. Some of the biggest moments of learning in someone's life takes place when they are unexpected.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I think i participate by offering anyone coming to the Las Vegas area a crash course in what to do there. There's several things you can do that are so much fun. The kind of things that the internet doesn't market or tell you about.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have had some AMAZING times hosting in addition to some even better times surfing in Northern California
Interests
definitely food - love trying new things!
Also, i love beautiful and interesting places...living in las vegas has been interesting, but I crave more of a scenic beauty. The area surrounding las vegas has so many nice places to go withing a 4 hour radius.
I love the outdoors and wish my allergies weren't so bad. However, i fight them off when I go do hikes, and things of that nature.
I also love whiskey, scotch and beer..oh and RED wine. I'm not a crazier partier, but i've been know to get down when needed. However, I really just like the taste of those alcoholic beverages...i love them actually.

Teach, Learn, Share
I think that often, some don't realize how much a person may actually care for or love them. This can sometimes go un-noticed. Let everyone in your life no you care about them every now and then.
