CURRENT MISSION

To be awesome and to meet those who are awesome.

ABOUT ME

I am embarking on a new chapter of my life, and it is all because of the amazing journeys I've had along the way that have led me here.

I've lived in Australia, France, and China and I've traveled all over America, Europe, and parts of Asia. I am a soul searching, fun having, conversation loving, person who seeks inspiration in the people around me. I LOVE a good laugh and meeting interesting people who can teach me more about the world around myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that people are constantly growing, changing, and evolving. While no one is perfect, I believe you can always strive for perfection. I feel that there are callings, signs, and things that are leading us on journeys. Some people ignore these and then live very unfulfilled lives because they want to live to society's standards. I also believe some people live their whole lives doing what feels right. These people, while society may not accept them, end up being the happiest set of people I have met. I feel I am somewhere in between hoping to find which way to go.

Another personal philosophy:

Everyone has a story. I want to hear it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a futon! It's comfortable!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couch surfed once for a snowboarding trip in Colorado, and the people I met there were amazing and generous. It was, and still is, one of the best traveling experiences I had.

Interests

Includes, but not limited to:

Snowboarding, hiking, picture taking, time with friends, exploring new places, beaches, swimming, playing guitar, trying to learn to play other instruments, art, music, history, new experiences that I have never tried, food, laughter, physical fitness, walking, jogging, lifting, yoga, spirituality, psychology, scuba diving, and I could go on forever.

I always thought this section would be better for me if it said what are you NOT interested in.

To answer that:

Being lazy, being stagnant, watching TV, waiting for life to lead me rather than grabbing it and taking it on by myself, unhappiness, negativity, and things of that sort.

Other things that I may not have tried, do not necessarily disinterest me. I'm a definite risk taker, and am incredibly open minded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leave it for conversation! Many, many, amazing stories here.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never run out of opinions, views on life, and things to talk about regarding that. Tell me your story, and I'll tell you mine. Ask me a question, and I'll give you my answer.

I'm also into education, politics, history, art, etc. I don't know how people could necessarily benefit from this, but am open to these types of conversations.
