CURRENT MISSION

Take risks

ABOUT ME

I am a liberal arts educated lady who loves family, big sweaters, ice cream, and nail polish. I do some setting on volleyball courts and have sung in a couple of a cappella groups. My hair is curly, but it didn't used to be. I twirled it around my finger for half a year and now the curls stick. I have two fake teeth because I never had grown up incisors waiting in the wings behind my baby teeth. People tell me I should invent a fight that got out of hand and took my teeth with it. I haven't gotten around to it yet. I enjoy writing longhand. Journals that are illustrated are more enjoyable to read. If you don't know whether I just made a joke, wait a moment to see if I smile.

PHILOSOPHY

There is nothing that family can't make better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

To surf or to have a friendly conversation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Found a group with which to play volleyball through a CS contact.

Interests

Strangers that take the effort to catch my eye and smile remind me that everyone has a story to tell. There are so many people that I see once and never get another chance, but they were the most important person in my life at that moment! That's why I try to smile all the time. I can't smile subtly, as proven by my unfriendly passport photo, so I go all out. I love running and walking and prefer nature to the city. I spend a good amount of time watching animated movies and TV shows. I think the movie I've watched the most out of any other it The Spongebob Squarepants Movie. Spongebob always sees the best in people and I really admire that. He also has impeccable fashion sense.
