CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible and experience the place as both native and tourist!

ABOUT ME

There is too much to say. I do love to talk so feel free to message me!

( I just thought of some things that would be good to know..... here goes.......)

I was brought up 'old school' and I am a natural rules follower (unless the rule is unjust or the occasional "No Entry" sign). Old school as in respect your elders and well everyone that shows me respect, even when disrespected I usually just get really polite. I am really quick to tease once I found something fun about the individual. This is always a sign of affection. I love love stories. I love being told stories through television, movies, books, and music..... but especially from people. Everyone has a story, if you want a short one from me don't ask about my family (they are a long long long story that was complicated when I was born).

But I really am willing to share and listen to opinions and stories and ideas, though if certain things seem not to be thought out I may mention it, and I am a big one for patterns, they have always seemed to pop out to me :) .

PHILOSOPHY

Travel, travel, travel, travel.... have trowel will travel!!!!
Love is love!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is addicting. And though it's sometimes fun to just be a tourist and see the big sites, it can be hard to really connect to the culture and the people who make the locations possible. Plus, locals know all the best places and stories. I just love to soak up stories.

Interests

I'm an anthropologist not just an archaeologist so I love cultures in general and history in particular. Love art and music and books. Photography is huge to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

TV: West Wing, Doctor Who, Alias, Lost Girl, and NCIS
Movies: The Sting, Contact, Stardust, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sauna on a house boat! Touched an artifact that was over a thousand yrs old.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I'm an archaeologist so I love learning history. Also, love arts and crafts. Haven't decided what my next craft to learn will be, but leaning towards tablet weaving.
Maybe I'm to self deprecating, but not sure what I can share or teach. I have a bunch of random facts. I love just having a good conversation. Can be a good listener.
