CURRENT MISSION

I want to travel the world for.......ever(?) I'm trying to do this, anyway.

ABOUT ME

I'm awesome, eccentric, and have curly hair and I'm a freelancer and wildland firefighter.

LIKES:
-people with sarcastic/dry sense of humor
-cats of all kinds!
-cooking!
-coffee/tea
-hiking
-history/architecture!
-spending time outside (IN THE SUN!)

DISLIKES:

PHILOSOPHY

"the definition of insanity is doing the same thing, over and over and over again, but expecting a different result"

and:
"work like you don't need the money,
love like you've never been hurt,
dance like nobody is watching."

I try to live life like I'm going to die at any moment. No regrets or disappointments. So far, I'm succeeding. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am hoping to find some people to host me during my travels. I have a long way to go, but I love talking to locals and hearing new stories, going on tours (even if they are fake/made up), adventuring around your favorite local spots! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Heaps of couches! Heaps of new friends!

Interests

-The way that the world (other than the US) works (politically, culturally, sports, ways of life, etc).
-music!
-food (all kinds. all the time. new things!)
-new drink/food recipes
-dance steps!
-ghost stories (everyone has at least one!)
-asking kids if they believe in dinosaurs.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most movies. There isn't anything that I won't watch (or attempt to watch) once.
Movies that I watch over and over: Princess Bride, Finding Nemo, Pirates of the Caribbean, Strictly Ballroom, etc.

Books: I own a kindle. I love to read and I read a lot.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Survived Haiyan/Yolanda (stayed and helped with disaster relief)

-Climbed Kilimanjaro

-Saved someone's life after a crossfit accident.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be in marketing, I have a good sense of business and good business ideas/tricks/tips-- so if you are trying to be more successful in business, ask me something!

I also just spent 10 years in Audio. So if you have questions about sound design, voice-over, music, video game development, etc-- ask me! :)

I recently gave up everything and became a wildland firefighter/disaster relief volunteer. Wanna know how to make a perfect (and safe) campfire? I can teach you!

Besides all this, I'm one of those "I know a lot of random useless information" types.

I'm also trying to put my new medical certification to use.
