CURRENT MISSION

To see what I can of the world, to live life to the fullest, to be the best I can be.

ABOUT ME

I AM: expressive, open, self revealing, love large parties, loud, social, outgoing, do not like social isolation, assertive, social chameleon, positive, always busy, like to fit in, like to stand out, enjoy leadership, brutally honest, trusting, optimistic, desire attention, want to be understood, realistic

Between the 5 of us living in one house, we speak 3 languages:) For the boys: One is an industrious Philipino American, one works for Disneyland and one is a lawyer. The two girls one is a massaging dancer the other a softball playing hairdresser. We have a pretty well developed household. It's fun!

PHILOSOPHY

Thoughts are things
I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They're endowed with bodies and breath and wings;
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth's remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet, so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose, then, thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.
---Henry Van Dyke

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have housed many people so far through this website. I am interested in offering up my couch to more people because the experience is so awesome.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I previously used the swing dance forums when I needed a place to stay, Now I'm starting to stretch my wings and go beyond my known community. I really love crashing at other peoples places, getting to know them and making new friends. I have used couches all over the US, Peru and in Japan which were all great experiences. I have also hosted up to 13 people at once before which I found to be crazy!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to see a pole dancing light festival in Northern Japan. The people danced wtih giant poles and 1000 lanterns attached to each pole, and each pole was balanced on different parts of their bodies while they danced. You could see the lights for a mile. It was truely an amazing sight to stand there hearing them all singing and dancing and balancing...beautiful.

I cook well and professionally swing dance. I am willing to learn everything I can get my hands on.
