CURRENT MISSION To live at peace with all people. ABOUT ME Hey! I'm Samantha... otherwise known as Trek Star Sam! I am an ESL teacher, actress, and youtube vlogger! Check out my videos if you'd like....https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzmwBH2u4oj1KttCXq4Pe9g?view_as=subscriber I am a 41 year old woman who was born and raised and in San Francisco, CA, I teach ESL (CTESOL certified) and do acting gigs on the side. I've been in a few Hollywood films as a background actor, but I'll let you know more about that when we meet. I LIVE to travel and I'm constantly looking for ways that I can do it more economically as well as get the most out of any experience. I can seem shy at first, but once I get to know a person I will go out of my way to help them and do what I can for them. In addition to English I speak Japanese (semi-fluently), Spanish, Italian and Turkish. I'd love to learn more of these languages and I am pretty obsessed with learning different languages because it really does help out when traveling and it lets people know that you're interested in THEM and their culture and not just sightseeing in their country. My dream is to be able to make basic conversation in every major language of the world. I love to write. To me, writing is like breathing. It comes naturally and I must do it to survive. I am working on my first travel book that will be centered around solo woman travelers, because I (usually) travel alone. All couch surfers will get an autographed copy when it's done! Hehe. I also write science fiction, fantasy and poetry books as well as poems and sonnets.

Life is too short to wear boring clothes!
