CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to learn to loosen up and live life to the fullest.

ABOUT ME

I am often told that I look too serious. I generally get this observed when I'm under too much stress, and living in New York is stressful.

The times I've been happiest have been playing sports outdoors: surfing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, even running. I hate the idea of exercising in a steamy room on a treadmill.

I come from Alabama originally, and although I've always thought I was a city girl, I'm beginning to think I might be a country girl or a beach town girl.

PHILOSOPHY

Never be afraid to do something daring.

Follow your steps and hope that you know where you're going.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just want to meet people and be a good tour guide in whatever way I can.

I also want to build good travel karma so that I am well taken care of when I'm out of my own element.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. But I just joined.
