CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Alright...so I haven't updated this thing in a while. I'm living in Dallas again, but hopefully not for long. I'm not sure where I'd like to live next...maybe Nashville...or Australia. Anyway, I'm just workin', livin' life and tryin' to save a penny here and there.

PHILOSOPHY

Live for the experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first joined the Seattle group when I lived in that beautiful city. I was a very active participant up there. I hosted some visitors while I lived up there, as well. I also couchsurfed throughout Europe and loved it! I'm excited to get to know more people/members in my city and even worldwide. I currently do not have space to offer for surfers, but I am more than willing to take you out for coffee or a drink when you visit Dallas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friends and I traveled throughout Europe in 2007 and couchsurfed the majority of the trip. We had some fabulous experiences and I feel we made some good friends during our travels. I would love to provide the same great experience for travelers visiting the Big D.

Interests

I love reading, watching movies, going out to dive bars, trying new restaurants, watching live theater and concerts, basically anything that gets me out and immersed in new cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have met Pauly Shore...actually, that is true, but it wasn't all that amazing. Truthfully, I can't think of anything right now...sad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love writing and editing. I think I'd like to do something with film, but I'm not sure how to get involved in that industry without making the big move to LA, which, at present, I refuse to do. I don't know if my writing is actually good enough to put out into the publishing world, but I love doing it just the same. I simply want to learn all I can about other cultures in the world and even in my own country. So if you have a story, please share.
