About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to seek out a life of adventure, whether it be with or without any guidance. My goal is to discover a new passion.

ABOUT ME

I teach English in Italy in a superior school. I'm working on a CouchSurfing project with my students, and they alllllll love me very much! :)

Outgoing, shy, gregarious, loving, smiling, and occasionally a little overboard with my gin and tonics. :) I am a burner. I like traveling a lot. I've met a lot of people abroad that I've stayed in touch with; networking is an important aspect of traveling, and you can never have enough friends.

There are always things that I can work on for myself; physically, mentally, and spiritually, but for the most part I'm a pretty good kid. I like to learn, and I'm always down for a good ole fashioned discussion.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to absorb. You learn something new every day and there's always something you can give in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The world is such a small place, and why not know as many people as possible? Connections around the world are becoming more and more important every day, and we are part of a generation where cross cultural communication and relations are becoming more and more important every day. New cultures always have something new and interesting, and learning about a new/any culture is priceless.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a few surfers stay with me, and I've surfed a couple of times across Europe. Amazing experiences! I also met some of the CSBurners out at Burning Man, and it only added to my desire to travel more more more!

Interests

Dancing! laughing, friends, family, culture, ethnic food, wine, new languages, speaking languages, learning, completing a goal, many things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Burning Man 2008 and 2009. Indescribable experiences that have transformed the way I look at society and its principles. I strongly encourage you to experience it someday. There are no words.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing that I have learned is that you cannot wait. Always be ready to jump at an opportunity, and be flexible. Do something different every day. Explore something new. Ask for directions, most of the time people will give them! Smile.
