CURRENT MISSION I just want to experience things and learn things, and some day knit a sweater. I would love to go to Asia too. ABOUT ME I have been very lucky in that I have a very supportive family, who have allowed me to travel all over pursueing what I love to do. I'm professional ballet dancer. I've noticed that not many people really understand what that means. I'm not a college student, and I don't teach dance. I wake up in the morning, take a class and then rehearse during the day, and then perform. That is just a basic outline. PHILOSOPHY I guess I just try to keep learning.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I tell people about couchsurfing. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I haven't done much couch surfing, but when visiting other places, I have always had a better time, when I stayed with a friend who lived there or in a dormitory at a hostel.
Music, Movies, and Books
Agatha Christie is an old stand by of mine. "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "The Great Gatsby" are two of my favorite books. I really like Anthony Bourdain's books and TV show. I will listen to almost anything and enjoy it, but some of my favorites are Rufus Wainwright, Paul Simon, and Zap Mama. The Godfather I and II are movies that I've seen alot. I also really like Beetlejuice and Amelie.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Every time a travel, I'm amazed. I love seeing how other people live, what the eat, what they wear. I think Paris is a beautiful city. I loved the southern coast of France. I grew up fairly close to Yellowstone Park which is such a different type of beauty.
My Interests
I love to travel. Almost every destination appeals to me on some level. The there are all the usual suspects, reading and movies. I also like knitting and baking, although I'm definitley an amateur in both fields.
