About Me

CURRENT MISSION

enhance my life and others lives, view everything whether an obstacle or an open door as an opportunity.

ABOUT ME

I love life, I love to laugh, and I LOVE to quote movies. All of the "useful" knowledge I have been accumulating over the last 5 years of college is most likely being squeeyed out by movie quotes and useless trivia. I have a passion for travelling and adventure, I really like to do things I have never done before, the bucket list includes skydiving and bungee jumping at the moment along with eating snails (or escargot if you will). But it cant be just anywhere. I have just graduated from the University of Washington, where I was a member of the Delta Zeta sorority, I funded my schooling by bartending and decided in the middle of the summer that I needed to travel NOW. So I just found this website by talking with other travelers and think the idea is amazing! I can get along with pretty much anyone, and truly believe it is very possible to have an amazing time even if you dont speak a word of the same language. A few more things: I am quite possibly addicted to Red Bull, love cheez-its to a fault, am completely biased to the Seattle music scene (Modest Mouse, Death Cab, Postal Service... Nirvana...) but also LOVE some good electro, dubstep and d&b. I like to party hard and work hard. I also very much enjoy history, the sites you have traveled thousands of miles to see are nothing without the stories behind them. Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

"The simple bear necessities of life!"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moment I tasted a 1995 Dr. Loosen Spatlese, it changed my life forever.
The first time I couchsurfed.
Smith Rocks, OR.
Chianti
Asturias in the North of Spain was I think the most beautiful place I have ever seen.
