About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have fun and be happy

ABOUT ME

I'm a curious, energetic, and fun. I'm one of those people who is always eager to meet "friends of friends" or other random, new people. I like adventures. I travel a lot- for work and for fun- so couchsurfing seems like a perfect venue for me. I have been living car-free for the last few years and I love it!

PHILOSOPHY

Do unto others...
