About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an INFJ-so introverted but I can carry on a conversation with anyone-get that from my mom and grandfather-and I laugh and smile all the time. I appreciate a good sense of humor. If I could make a living as a dancer, I'd be incredibly content. I'm not exactly a good fit for day to day trials in life as I'm extraordinarily sensitive and compassionate, but because I feel deeply, people usually feel very open to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a deeply compassionate person and I feel for other people and animals. I believe in love and I never see a reason for anyone to fight.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am brand new to this!

Interests

Horseback riding, reading, acting, swimming, weight-lifting, and dancing. I love all styles of dance and I've tried everything from modern to ballet and I have a distinct passion for ethnic dance like belly dancing which I started when I was 11.

Music, Movies, and Books

The list is endless-I've watched films from the 1920s forward. Since my unfulfilled dream is to become an actress I also enjoy movie trivia like info about the actor's personal life, filming locations, etc. I've also had an extras role in Love Ranch, Terminator Salvation, Swing Vote, Believe in Me and most recently the TV series Manhattan.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been surfing in Maui and LOVED it! Being from a landlocked state, it's hard to imagine me enjoying the ocean but I have an affinity and deep respect for it. It seems so vast and unknown. Surfing is a way to really connect with Mother Nature and respect her power and grace. Plus, out of the many people I have met, surfers seem to always be super laid back and have a great sense of humor, which I appreciate.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmmm this is an interesting one....I suppose that I am good at teaching people to smile, I do it all the time and it seems to be contagious. Even with life is difficult I'm still a very happy person and I'm incredibly grateful for family-that's the second thing to learn-treasure your family and your parents. Typically, they do have your best interests at heart.
