CURRENT MISSION

To seekout other CSers and make friends along the way!

ABOUT ME

Okay a little about myself. I'm a person who loves to learn--whether it's new skills, new cultures, new ways of thinking--I'm there! I really enjoy meeting new people and can be shy at first but warm up pretty quickly.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm starting to realize that you should always be true to yourself...because the only person that has to live with your decisions forever is yourself.

I really enjoy meeting people and sharing life experience. The world is so diverse, but at the same time we all go through the same types of milestones in our lives. I try not to be judgmental of anyone because I know we all come from different circumstances--and you never know what type of feelings or circumstances that people are going through.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently I'm looking to meet people in the local area and places I might travel. I'm trying to ease myself in to CS and am looking for people to grab a cup of coffee or dinner with and just have a nice chat. I could really use some advice and tips for CS in general and would love to hear from you. I think CS is a really great idea and a unique way to experience the world; however, I'm still a bit reserved because I want to have fun but be safe at the same time. Any tips on doing both would be great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had any couch surfing experience yet! But I'm looking forward to my first...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies! I'm not really much of a movie buff but I do enjoy watching all sorts of movies...except horror films. Even though I know horror films are not real..I still get scared xD. I also really enjoy independent films and films that go outside of classic hollywood.

Music: I like indie and folk music-- tegan and sara, ingrid michealson, regina spektor, mgmt, death cab for cutie, la roux, ok go, the killers, fuji fighters, sia...And I also enjoy pop music (the catchy beats on the radio) ... but I don't really like heavy metal or country

Books: I like the Harry Potter Books and Hunger Games. I do a lot of technical reading...like computer books and books about how to do stuff.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've done some programming and every once in awhile I get an urge to do some. Would love to work on a project with someone or help someone who is starting out.

I also enjoy cooking with others and find it relaxing.

I'm still learning Spanish and would love to practice with someone.
