ABOUT ME

I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I am not
I come from a small town in Georgia
When people first meet me I may seem shy but that's definitely not the case
I sometimes have a hard time putting all my feelings and emotions into words
I love life and am very passionate
I love animals- I have rescued too many to count
Fun and crazy people are my favorite types
I procrastinate way too much
I'm working on seeing the glass as half full
I want to travel more and make it to Europe by the end of this year
Some people say I think too much, but in my opinion they don't think enough
I am learning that you will be happier if you have no expectations
I love to party
One day I want to get my MSW
I hate shallow people, but I sure do love the open minded ones
I ask a lot of questions
Striving to become more environmentally friendly

PHILOSOPHY

The answer is, is that there is no answer

Sometimes we have to get lost in our life in order to find a new and better way of being happy

"We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend."

"I am selfish, impatient and a little out of control, and at times hard to handle. but if you cant handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best" - marilyn monroe

Spay and neuter your animals!

You can never cross the ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated... I hold that, the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man."
-Mahatma Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was just introduced to Couchsurfing for the first time at the beginning of 2009 by my roommates, it's the best concept I have heard in a long time. I've hosted a bunch and attended cs functions. Everyone I've encountered has been awesome! I surfed for the first time in August 09, it was amazing and there is much more to come!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I LOVE IT!
Everyone I've met through the site has been so open minded and generous. I have found that when Couchsufing comes up in a conversation with people who have never heard of the concept, they are immediately either for it or they hate- no in betweens. I think that's why the idea is so great b/c we all have similar outlooks on life and the world in general.
