Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To pack as much into my life as I possibly can and to laugh uproariously while doing so.
ABOUT ME
I am an enthusiastic young woman whose birth in the mid-west of America is purely coincidental: I am an open, understanding person with a great fever for life and learning. I am fiercely thankful for all that I have been given in the terms of knowledge and opportunities by my parents and I intend to experience the hell out of a four-month stay in Spain.
I could be shy when you meet me, or I could be bold, but by the end of the night I will be very talkative. I love people. I love places. I really, really want to meet others with interesting experiences to share, as stories are some of my favorite things in this world.
PHILOSOPHY
"Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." -- Dr. Seuss
Things come and go but the moment is what you should keep. Some people come into our lives to prepare us for the next step, to teach us what we need to know to move forward, and then leave: instead of mourning this, we should be grateful we knew them at all. I try to move through this life moment by moment with the least amount of regret possible.
I love my life and want to love it for as long as I live it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am new to this experience, and so haven't had a chance to participate yet, but I'm looking forward to it.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I'm new! I can't wait to have experiences!
Interests
I love all things artsy. I draw, I write, I sew, I craft... I think if the world were perfect I would be a writer. I'm not a very physical person, as I don't favor things like rock-climbing, but I do love dancing salsa/merengue/bachata.

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything alternative rock: The Decembrists, LUDO, Modest Mouse, La Roux, The Hush Sound, The Faint, Queen, Muse, Garbage, Franz Ferdinand, The Mountain Goats, Dido, Coldplay, CAKE, Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
I read a lot. Otherwise I have very nerdy interests and love fantasy, Harry Potter and anything with magic and possibly dragons.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
As of now, the Alhambra ranks number one on my 'awe' scale.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can tell anyone who wants to know about the fatty acid cycle in biochemical terms. I am a well of trivia and interesting facts. Did you know that, in ancient egypt, honey, crocodile dung and sponges were all used in the practice of birth control? Very glad I don't live in ancient Egypt!
My life experiences are equally if not more instructive and involve four years of technical romantic 'single'ness yet a whole lot of life-changing encounters, some amazing, some questionable. And I am practically incapable of being offended, so ask away.
