CURRENT MISSION

This year's mission is to be a better traveller than my brother, who is an amazing traveller. I'm all kinds of jealous/inspired.

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun little duck who likes to keep busy, but also likes to just chill. Let's go dancing all night or camping or go on designer shopping spree. I'm up for it all! I bake when I'm stressed, and I cook when I'm bored. I love a good lemon drop and a beer when I'm with my mates. I'm a dork when it comes to most things I love, but people say its endearing so i deal with it. I have a habit of picking up UK slang and using it without really noticing. I love driving by myself with the windows down. I'll spot you a 20 whenever you ask, no questions. I hate being ignored, so don't do it. If I ask you a question, respond in some form or another. Seriously, even if its an evil glare, that's better than nothing.

PHILOSOPHY

every work of art is an uncommitted crime.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to offer a couch, but as of right now I have none. i tell my friends about surfing, though!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never been couchsurfing! Wait... I have. I stayed a lady's place in Arizona with my mom for a dance competition when I was like... 9. That isn't quite the same though.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

When I was 9 I went to Zimbabwe and met a young girl. She became my pen-pal. I would send her a letter with a dollar which she would use to buy stamps and paper to write me back. about 3 years after I met her, her village well was destroyed and she died. We wrote 6 letters to eachother.

fresh summer peaches cut up in a bowl with fresh cream is just the epitome of summer. Try it.

To make a straight bow, you have to revers the direction of the second crossover. So, you go left over right for the first simple knot. When you loop the tie around to make the bow part, you have to go right over left. This will make the bow lay flatter and straight. Also, if you need a proper knot, do the same thing. Right over left, then left over right. It makes for a very stable square knot that you can untie without too much trouble.

If you build your own house, put everything on a credit card that has airline miles rewards. You'll rack up a few points. But don't forget to pay off that card as you go.
