CURRENT MISSION

To jump off my next cliff-both metaphorically and literally.

ABOUT ME

Hell if I know...

Okay, okay..

I am a LITTLE bit vivacious. I am fiercely independent. I am nearly curious and inquisitive to a fault. I want to know and do everything. I like putting myself in situations that scare the crap out of me. I like meeting people who can teach me things-any age. I like daydreaming about the ocean. My greatest dream would be to go to a university without having to work. Have everything paid for, just study all day. I didn't have a clue what I wanted to do when I was in high school, or after I graduated. Three years later and I can't stop naming things I want to accomplish. I'm very empathetic and very open to all types of people. I don't judge, I ask questions so I understand them completely. I don't just accept, I embrace. Family is the most important thing in my life and I am blessed with one just as open minded and encouraging as me. They'd support me whatever I wanted to do as long as it was beneficial. I want my hair to grow 4 more inches.

PHILOSOPHY

We live, We love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm still a beginner at this, waiting for this summer to really test it out!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All by word of mouth, haven't experienced it myself yet

Interests

My interests seem to vary on a daily/weekly basis.
Sometimes I will go four to eight days burying myself in artwork (painting, drawing), next week I can't get away from my instruments. Then the next week I am figuring out how I can maneuver up a steep bluff to jump off (typically that's just in summer). And then the NEXT week I am bonding with my bed and books.

I am a Big Sister (both biologically and through a program), I volunteer at the art museum in my city as a docent, I am a certified medical assistant, I ride my bike practically everywhere for everything when the weather agrees with me, I love reading, Hiking, I really want a Ducati, Poetry, Random road trips that have no destination, Family is very important to me, Music, Art/Art History, Political Science, Photography/Photojournalism (Nachtwey is my hero and idol), and Fresh fruits.

Things I have done at least 3 times and want to do more: Canoeing/kayaking, Wake boarding, Skate boarding, Riding (motorcycles), Midnight road trips to see friends (I have done this at least a dozen times and anticipate it happening more),
