CURRENT MISSION

just to figure out what I'm here for

ABOUT ME

How should i describe myself? I'm a proud ginger. I'm an aries in every sense of the word. I have a big heart which gets me into some trouble at times because instead of thinking about what I'm about to do I just do what I feel and worry about the rest later. I've written poetry for as long as i can remember and still refuse to show it to anyone. I only write for myself. Most importantly I hope to spend my life free of money. I want to do something that serves other people around the world without worrying about what it will do to my financial situation. I have some ideas about how to do that but I'm still figuring it out.

PHILOSOPHY

Since Hurricane Katrina me and most of the people I know started telling their life stories in two parts, Before Katrina and After Katrina. I realized how much you can lose or gain in one day. I lost almost all of my material possessions, pictures, the place I had learned to call home, and quite unfortunately in the weeks after, my cat. I gained true love. I had hated being from the south before and I had hated most of my states history. In the ride back to the city that day I realized i could never really leave this place. I realized it was home. I guess what I'm trying to say is don't ever underestimate the power of one single day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new to CouchSurfing. So right now making this profile is how I'm participating and in a few days I'll be crashing on the couch of a host I met on here. Hopefully soon I'll have a couch of my own to offer.
