PHILOSOPHY

Here are some quotes I hold dear to my heart:

Happiness is a habit. - My mommy
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep. - Unknown
Practice safe design: Use a concept. - Petrula Vrontikis
You want something done, ask someone busy. - Mat Helme (story of my life)
All's fair in love and war. - Francis Edward Smedley
Read the directions, even if you don't follow them. - Mary Schmich
Je prévois de vous promener à pied sans but sans un plan. - French saying
You can cry like a bitch or you can smack a bitch. Do the latter. - Marcy Runkle from Californication

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is all very new to me. I just heard about this yesterday (May 8, 2010) from a girl who I am sharing a hostel room with. So I would like to get a positive experience out of this and hope to host someday and be there for someone as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couch surfing virgin. I hope to have a good first experience so I can get into this myself. Seems like a great community of people who just want to meet new people and help each other out.

Interests

MOTOGP!
I have a motorcycle (Honda 600cc) that I ride as much as I can when I'm not out traveling.
I love art/design/advertising.
I LOOOOVE food. I like to try new things and I enjoy cooking myself. Breakfast is one of my favorite types of food. I can eat it any meal.
I also love desserts and baked goods.
I'm also a sports fan. Love the Lakers (of course!), the Saints, the Angels, and recently I've been trying to open up to European football.
I am a big fan of anime, ever since I was a little girl.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy biographies. Nothing is more real than someone else's life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Discovered the freedom on a motorcycle.
Skydiving in Santa Barbara.
Seen a child give up his seat for an elderly on the metro.
Fallen in love over and over again.

Teach, Learn, Share

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen. I want to meet you beautiful people so I can learn and hopefully share myself with you.
