CURRENT MISSION

GET SETTLED. MEET PEOPLE. SUCCEED AT LIFE.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 25 year old female, self proclaimed geek. I read books and write poems. I've graduated college. I drive a 1973 dodge dart that is the color of split pea soup. I did a semester abroad in The Netherlands. I grew up in Portland, Maine. You can walk across downtown in 30 minutes. I am about to take a road trip and move to Albuquerque. Keruoac might have gone to my head. I don't have a job secured and I don't know a soul who lives there. I have a gut feeling that I'm going to make it.

PHILOSOPHY

I dream to achieve and dream again.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

I am interested in antique cars, live music, words on the page, sunsets, the ocean when it's raining or snowing, mint chocolate chip ice cream, men in the service, home cooked meals, inexpensive clothes, things on sale, traveling, reading maps, occasionally dancing and hitchhiking, coffee at 711 after 1a.m., and meeting new people.
