CURRENT MISSION

To go everywhere, try everything, meet everyone! At least once.

ABOUT ME

I'm a girl who's trying to figure out my place in this world. Where I want to go and what I want to make of it. I have a great job that takes care of all of my creative urges. Right now I'm trying to work on my business skills buy trying to help build the my company up. I have been spending a lot of time being active over the past few years. I do it because it's fun...the healthy part is just an added bonus. I also surround myself with music and I love finding out about new bands or artists that make my toes tingle. I also like thinking up bad pick up lines and find great joy in bad puns.

PHILOSOPHY

There's a big world out there...not just the tiny one that's immediately around me. I love seeing how people live their lives. Sometimes I'm envious, sometimes it's humbling. Life is what you make of it. So make it great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about Couch Surfing when I met a few people after a Smashing Pumpkins concert in Chicago. They loved it. And it sounds like something I want to try! So here goes nuthin'!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was lucky enough to go skydiving in Hawaii. Talk about a view! I think the flight alone was worth it...however the adrenaline rush once you hit the ground = amazing. It made my mom a nervous wreck. It's something I never thought I'd do but I'm so glad I did it. It's something I'll never forget!

Teach, Learn, Share

This is a tough one...hmm.
