CURRENT MISSION

6/15/2013 my dog Olive & I leave Charlotte for a six month roadtrip wherever the wind takes us

ABOUT ME

I am turning 31 and recently lost a cousin. It changed my entire perspective on life. I realized that if I continue to work 100 hours a week, I will wake up and my life will be over. I refuse to work so much that I miss the beauty in each day, moment, person, sunrise, sunset, mountain-okay, you get my drift. I am actually super laid back, open, accepting and love meeting people. When I go somewhere new, I want to soak in the local character, hit the dives/diners/ma&pa shops and taste all the local specialities that I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Never judge someone-you haven't lived their life or experienced what they have. Never make assumptions-you can be totally offbase. Treat others with the love and respect you want. Fucking smile - you are alive, you are healthy and damnit-more people need to smile.
Technology is linking all of us, yet it is killing conversational skills. If more people talked to each other, fewer people would be depressed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently renting my loft out, but when I return, I will be hosting CSers to return the goodness the community will hopefully provide in the next six months.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have read about it, I have heard about it, I have been a little bit skerred to experience it. I love the communal concept of it all. I am afraid of potentially meeting creeps or perverts.

Interests

I like to drink coffee, people watch and listen to music. I love taking my dog for walks and seeing new things.
