About Me

ABOUT ME

I was raised with an Okinawan heart, an Irish liver, and of course that American spunk. If you would like to know more just write or invite! Lol, if you seriously need a background check, then check out http://picasaweb.google.com/ilostmyslipper . Sláinte ;)

PHILOSOPHY

No matter how great your life is, you can always make it better! Never be content, but always be happy ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted heaps of interesting people while living in Aussie, but kind of dropped off the CS'ing planet while living in Japan. I just moved to Jacksonville, and would love to get back into it once I get a home! I know my wonderful hosts whom I've surfed with have made my experiences in their home countries so much better than I could have ever had on a whim! It's amazing what wonderful insight you can get from a traveler in their local environment, this project truly is great!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ummm, I once got lost inside a glacier? And I've jumped off a bridge. I like jumping off of stuff!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm lets see. I know a lot about the weather and a bit about the sun. But I refuse to talk about global warming - the conversation drives me nuts lol. Also, I can hook people up with good workout and nutrition advice (I'm a certified Nutritionist, however quite fat at the moment. I know HOW to do it, just haven't been doing it very well lol).
