CURRENT MISSION

To broaden my mind and to take advantage of the underrated privilege of getting to grow old. I'm 21 right now, and I'm trying to travel the world to allow it and it's people to impact me.

ABOUT ME

I'm 21. I'm a female if you didn't catch that little tid bit. I am currently living and studying in Accra, Ghana. It's been a crazy 3 months and a little more thus far. After this my next adventure is Ireland, then Amsterdam, then finally back home! I am a Colorado, mountain loving free spirit kind of girl (or at least I like to think so). I enjoy life in all retrospects for the most part, but always just a little more when something wonderful comes my way. Like a truly good cup of coffee, that perfect PB&J sandwich, or when you go and discover that they really do know how to serve wine in France and Italy. (They really don't skimp on that stuff.) I don't stick to any specific motto, I just take things as they are, as they come & go. But I am obsessed with birds. Everything about them; birds of migration especially. Travel. All of that and also looking at the stars... not everybody knows the full potential of the stars, and that is one thing I would give to every person on earth. OH... I lied. I do have a motto. "Laughter is perfection: the only perfection I can define."

PHILOSOPHY

I feel like an idealist slowly turning into a realist mixed with existentialism.

Also: "When life gives you lemonade, make lemons... then life'll be like WHAAAAAA?!?!?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Smiling & offering assistance and if anything, advice if I can!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, other than perhaps my Grandmother's couch when I want to escape from things.
But with time I will one day be thoroughly knowledgeable.

Interests

I am interested in my dog Trigger. He's a half blind, deaf Red Heeler. He barks and chases an invisible laser light... there's a long story to that, and it's actually true. Then, the usual... writing, music. Mmm. Roller Derby. I did that for a year before I decided to travel. Then there's the always interesting and countless topics related to the world and the weird people and things in it!

• dogs
• birds
• writing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everything counts in my book. Even the bad.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach. I can teach you about how even trash can be beautiful. That sounds impossible, but alas it's not.

I want to learn about anything and everything as long as it's not going to wig me out.
