CURRENT MISSION

To have a story or two to tell.

ABOUT ME

I'm just a girl who loves to meet interesting people and do things that are out of the ordinary. I may be quiet, but I'm a social person and always up for something new.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to help my fellow man. I want to make the most of my time on Earth because I don't believe there's anything after this. I want to live and die without regrets. I believe in the power of music to reach people in ways that other things cannot. I try to make the most of my talents and experiences and use them to connect with people and making their lives just a little better. I don't want to die without a story.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just started on a whim, but I hope to be able to lend my couch to people who are just looking for some good conversation and fun, and vice versa. I hope to travel around the US in Summer '10 and experience all this country has to offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any. I grew up in a hotel kind of family, and I hope to break that tradition.
