Live and breath life to the fullest...join me?

ABOUT ME

I am an enthusiastic, sort of out there, adventurous girl who loves nothing more then to meet a new friendly face with stories. I have spent a year abroad living in Ecuador, backpacked Europe (twice), traveled through Central America and Mexico, and road tripped across America! I have worked for an International Photography company but quit after a while and moved to Cape Verde, Africa. I now live with my husband in Provo, Utah and am part-owner of Maude Productions. Majority of my closest friends all tend to live else where amongst the world and I'm always up for building my list of friends.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life to learn. If you don't learn in life, why live?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have backpacked to over 20 different countries and it would have been so nice to have been familiar with CS when I did so.
I took a road trip from Florida to Arizona through all the major music capitals of our nation and experienced CS for the first time. I had some splendid hosts who all showed me an amazing time. I look forward to furthering my CS experience in the future as I meet new hosts and surfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
The few experiences I have had so far, have been nothing but the greatest!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Solo Dios Sabe, City of God, War of the Buttons, Motorcycle Diaries, Once, (GOOD Foreign Films and Independent Films), Documentaries

Books: I am pathetic and do not read too many books. But the last book I managed to finish recently and highly recommend is 'Left To Tell', a biography about a woman's story surviving the Rwandan Holocaust. It is touching yet depressing all in one.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've moved over a sum of 30 times in my short life and have traveled and scene over 20 different countries. If you want to know amazing things I've scene or done in my lifetime...you will just have to either host me or surf to me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a few longboards and would love to take a ride with you around the town and teach you if you don't know how already.
I also am a photographer. I can teach you anything you'd like.
I would love to learn more about film making if anyone knows much about it. I'm in the process of researching more about it because I plan on going to shoot and photograph a documentary in India someday.
