CURRENT MISSION

Doing my internship in Eugene, OR this summer would love to find out more about the city and the people =)

ABOUT ME

Well. The name is Shannon and I'm from a little town right outside of Detroit. In my fourth year at Central Michigan University--probably known for our shitty basketball team. I'm about to go to my internship in Eugene, Oregon. Now, this is a big step for me considering I will be moving out there for 3 months, no car, no place to stay, not knowing one person etc. So. If anyone knows of any places that sublet for 3 months in the summer let me know =) I love to travel and see new places that I have never seen. The way that I look at it is that I want to travel as much as I can before I have to get a "real" job.

=)

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I had to move back home because I start my internship soon. So I don't think they would be too impressed if they came home and there were people on our couches. But if I were back up at school i'd let anyone stay there (except a rapist or a murderer) so when I get done with these internships, and move out. My door will always be open =)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland was probably one of the most amazing things I have seen and studying abroad in Ireland then backpacking through Europe was probably one of the most amazing things I have done. Well... besides bungee jumping during spring break in Acapulco but I was a bit tipsy then :-x
