About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in peace.

ABOUT ME

It's a lot of pressure to have to describe yourself in one paragraph. I often find myself wishing for the perfect word to sum up my thoughts on myself, so that I can spare myself the trouble of thinking up something long-winded and witty, and you the trouble of having to read it, but these endeavors always fail. I suppose the most important thing to know about me is that I love to learn, which is why traveling is of such interest to me. I'm extremely responsible (to the point that I have to remind myself that sometimes it's okay to NOT make my bed in the morning), and am often associated with the words "passionate," "outgoing," and "thoughtful."

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe that love makes the world go 'round. Without love, my life would be nothing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I won't lie -- I'm new to this whole thing, and a bit hesitant, but I've had so many people recommend it, I'm excited to 'live a little!'

Interests

Theatre! (my first passion)

Then, in no particular order:
Orange Juice
LOST (!)
Modern Literature

  • books
  • literature
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Billy Collins, favorite poet
Joanna Newsom, favorite music to fall asleep to
Juno, because it makes me cry every time
Justin Timberlake, because I'm no longer embarrassed to say that whenever I am down, he lifts me up

Teach, Learn, Share

I am excellent at editing. I can edit just about anything (in English) -- so, if you have papers, articles, theses, books, and you need advice or red marks, I'm more than excited to help.
