About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Travel... Meet interesting people, see fabulous new things, and most importantly to live in the moment...

ABOUT ME

Well let's see... I've lived in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Connecticut, North Carolina, Maryland and Florida although not necessarily in that order. I love a lot of things and hate hardly anything. I love to laugh, be spontaneous, listen to good music, eat different foods, travel to interesting places (although I haven't done nearly enough of this yet), be silly, meet new people, share experiences, be at the beach, attempt to cook things that are edible, learn how to grow things (however my green thumb still has yet to emerge), read a book and the list goes on and on...

All that isn't even the tip of the iceberg, so if you want to learn more, all you have to do is ask! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I have a lot of philosophies that guide my life, but right now the biggest one for me would be: "why not?"

There are a few particular quotes that I think articulate best how I try to live my life. I think the following three sum it up pretty nicely.

"May you live every day of your life. "
Jonathan Swift

"We can do no great things, only small things with great love."
-Mother Teresa

"There will be an answer, let it be."
-Paul McCartney

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch for anyone at the moment, but am always down to meet up and explore or have a drink!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch surfed yet, nor had anyone crash on my couch, but that will hopefully change shortly. I'll keep you posted! :)

My Favorite Book of the Moment -- "Eat, Pray, Love"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in a Native American ritual called a Sweat Lodge. It would take me days to write about it here, so all I'll say is that I have never felt more connected to a higher power, spiritual, zen-like, whatever you want to call it, in my life.. Just amazing. Everyone should try this once.
