CURRENT MISSION
Live life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME
I have a gypsy soul, I am adventurous and I love to travel. Road trips are my favorite. I like the "getting somewhere part" more than the arriving. Which is why I love to travel by motorcycle. Riding a motorcycle is not just a mode of transportation for me, it's a way of life. "Four wheels move the body, two wheels move the soul."
I can be serious, I can be funny - it all depends on the situation. I am open minded and easy going. I like hanging out with fun people, sharing stories, and having a good time.

PHILOSOPHY
Mark Twain said it well:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
For now I'm trying the surfing part ... rather than being "a tourist" in a foreign country, I'd like to connect with locals and find out all I can about the country and see it through the eyes of the people who live there.
“There are no foreign lands. It is the traveler only who is foreign.”
~ Robert Louis Stevenson

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Very little. But the few times I have couchsurfed it was fun!

Interests

Riding my motorcycle! It's the best way to travel. You're exposed to the climate and the land - you're in it - there are no windows that separate you from the outside world.
Reading books: travel stories, fantasy stories, thrillers ... anything goes as long as it's well written. I also like all kinds of movies.
I like to cook for people who appreciate it. And I love chocolate!! Oh, and I make my own jewelery - I find it calming. So I guess I have a creative side. :-)

Music, Movies, and Books

Oops, I guess I talked about movies and books somewhere else already.
Music: Rock. Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Kid Rock, Metallica, and many more. I love Reggae. Country music is growing on me lately, too. Love Zac Brown.
