About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to live and love life

ABOUT ME

I guess I would describe myself as a liberal, fun-loving (kind of hate that word..), person. I'm part east coast, part midwest, and part west coast. I love food. Like, seriously. Bagels are a favorite. Curry too. I love to travel. I enjoy school and don't really want to ever stop being a student. I'm fascinated by human evolution. Friends are extremely important to me, and once we become friends I will be very loyal. I have a pretty serious addiction to coffee in the morning.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the small things in life, do what makes you happy and be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't participated too much in CS, although I have hosted a few people, and been involved in some of the CS groups. I think that it is a really interesting experience, and a great way to meet awesome people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people, but never surfed myself! looking forward to trying it out while I'm in Australia.

Interests

First off, I love meeting new and interesting people. The world is a fascinating place, and the people who inhabit it fascinate me even more. I love how two people can come from completely opposite ends of the earth, have completely different backgrounds, and still become best friends. I love music. Concerts and festivals are definitely a favorite past time of mine. Also, is there anything better than traveling? Exploring a new city and/or culture is such an experience. I strongly believe EVERYONE should have that experience at some point in their life. I attempt to play piano and guitar, I like to read though I don't read for fun often enough. I'm a sucker for shitty movies, and as mentioned above, I really enjoy a delicious meal.

Music, Movies, and Books

There is so much amazing music out there that it's impossible to name. However, I do really love Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is one of my favorite books. I've also secretly (maybe not so secretly) been enjoying reading the Game of Thrones series. Movies are great. I usually love them all.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I swam with sea turtles once. That was humbling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to make a delicious apple pie. I also know a lot of bad jokes.
