Overview
About Me
I just graduated from Florida State University in May with a Hospitality Management degree. Currently have a full time job as an event planner, but looking to possibly switch career paths. I'd love to live in the western US where there's things to do (hiking, snowboarding, enjoying nature, etc).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Taking a 2 week "sabbatical" from work to mentally refresh. I usually hunt out hostels to stay in, but I just discovered Couchsurfing. I think it's a neat way to get a locals perspective on the places visited.

Current thoughts & feelings....I'm sure this area will grow through my travels. But for now, this is where I'm at
Thanks Paul Hudson (Elite Daily):
"It is clear that as human beings, we are not the property of anyone or anybody; we are our own people and do not have to give into the wants or requests of others unless we ourselves decide to do so. My question is whether or not we owe our parents something for having raised us, for having put in the time, the effort and the care needed to make us the people that we are today. Or do we not owe them anything and should do whatever we wish to do without considering our parents’ take on the subject?"
"Good intentions are not requisite of blind obedience. Each of us is our own person and while we can say that we owe listening to the opinions and suggestions of our parents, the final decision should be our own. The only thing that we owe our parents is the unwavering promise of our pursuit for happiness. What else really matters?"
