CURRENT MISSION

still love the old mission, "laugh and dance as much as I can, eating yummy food is good too", but my focus has changed as my husband and I get ready to welcome our first little one into this world!

ABOUT ME

Hm, I've been described as quiet, a rambler, goofy and good for a serious discussion. Love for ice cream and salads, curled up on a comfy couch and walking around the beautiful outdoors add to the mix. I'm really excited to meet people like me, people who are the complete opposite and everything in between!

PHILOSOPHY

Life flies by fast so love, laugh and dance all you can.
Everyone has stories to tell so take the time to listen :)
Don't focus on what you don't have, but what you do have.
Enjoy possibilities, but don't let them bog you down.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In the past I enjoyed some of the CS activities around Madison and I'm hoping to enjoy that again in Peoria!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first joined I was able to spend some time with the Chicago CS group at an awesome corn maze and the Madison CS group for a crazy Halloween. I then went traveling and have stayed with a number of couch surfers around the US and in Spain. It was a great time! I'm looking forward to hosting now that I have my own place again.

Interests

I love reading about anything, playing silly games and playing the clarinet. Staring at the clouds is also quite fun. Would love to learn more about cooking, gardening, decorating, languages, history and the list goes on...

Music, Movies, and Books

I'll read anything and everything, fiction and non-fiction. It's like traveling to a new time and place whenever you want! I'm pretty easy-going and enjoy most music and movies that I'm introduced to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at the top of the Grand Canyon at sunrise sounds cheesy, but wow, it was stunning. Actually, my entire 6 months of road trips/island adventure/Europe train hopping was pretty amazing :)

visited 28 states (56%)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty familiar with the Toledo and Madison areas so if you have questions, please ask. I'd like to learn more about the rest of the world, specifically Spain and Italy right now, and so I love to hear other travel stories.

I know the basics of the clarinet and engineering, but enjoy learning about most everything.
