About Me

I'm super easy going. I always want to be is awe. I love learning about people, they're so interesting! If I can poke about your brain with questions, I'm having a great time. Experiencing things I haven't before is my favorite pastime, I wan't to see, touch and do everything!

I work full-time and go to school part-time. My goal is to be a Physical Therapy Assistant and will be applying to a program Spring of 2017. I love helping people and being of use to them.

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness and respect, always.

Don't look back, it's not where your headed anyway.

"There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self."
Ernest Hemingway

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I've never done it!

Also because if I'm going to visit a place I've never been before, I would love to experience it on a more intimate level. Hotels/motels are so cold.

Interests

I didn't grow up as an outdoorsy girl, but I'm learning to appreciate it more! I wish I could get out more. I'm a nerd at heart, I just like learning. I recently learned how to play poker, the basics, just to learn! I'm trying to be more physically active too, my pen-ultimate goal is to run a half-marathon (ultimate goal, though far away, is to run a marathon). First though, I'm tackling the 5K in under 30 minutes. I'm having a blast getting there. I only took up running this past January.

Music, Movies, and Books

Aaaaaaah! So many.

Music: I have no loyalty. I like to bounce around in music. It's all mood based. I went to Coachella this year, it was made for people like me. I bounced around all over the festival and it was a blast!

Books: Daughter of Fortune, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (full of life lessons people!). I'm working on The Art of War at the moment.

Movies: Shawshank Redemption, Children of Men, Steel Magnolias, Tremors, The Wedding Singer, A League of Their Own, The Sandlot.

Shows: The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So far, my favorite experience has been the Grand Canyon. I don't care how many times you've seen it in print or video, it's absolutely nothing compared to standing in its presence.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn it all! I want to hear other people's perspective always.
