CURRENT MISSION

Finish school, travel the UK, Europe and other countries (coming in fall 07), and enjoy life fully!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Champaign IL, though I'm looking to move in a few months. I'm finishing up my bachelor's in Psychology and have no clue what I'm going to do career-wise. I know I want to obtain a higher degree at some point, but I need to decide what my goals are first. My priority right now is to finish up school and move somewhere where I can have fun and meet lots of interesting people.
Currently, I like to socialize, go to interesting bars or clubs, play pool, poker, darts (I suck at), bowl (I suck at also), read, do art (all sorts of things including photography), watch movies, dance, waste time on my computer, eat sushi among other kinds of food, go to the beach, swim, go to parks, ski (I need to re-learn how to, it's been a while), jet-ski, travel (I'm addicted to it now), festivals (especially Burning Man), and many many many other things. I also like all sorts of music, but I especially love various genres of electronic music, especially when going out to bars or clubs. There's not much of an electronic music scene here in Champaign, but there was one in Rochester that I enjoyed a lot.
If you have any suggestions of where I should move in the US, please let me know. I'll take all the advice I can get.

PHILOSOPHY

People and relationships with them are the most important aspect of life. Everything else is just a bonus.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ask me in person, I could go many directions with this.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: These three pursuits provide the basis for a meaningful friendship.
Learn: Learning is what makes us human.
Share: Trust is the key to opening new doors.
