CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world experiencing all cultures and meeting new people.

ABOUT ME

I am carefree, yet have goals I'd like to meet. I enjoy education, reading. I am addicted to caffeine and nictotine. I am stubborn. I am easy to get along with. I am often told how weird I am. I am in love with love and winter. I really like meeting new people. I want to travel everywhere. I think I have commitment issues. I go to sleep around 6-7 am most nights.

PHILOSOPHY

I am very mixed on life. I don't believe in religion, but I am undecided if I believe there is a higher power. Since I don't know why I'm here or why I live my life yet, I'm just taking it one day at a time. I am trying to stay as optimistic as possible, it's the best way to live. Vive hodie.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just recently moved out to Austin, so when it comes to showing someone the awesome, hidden sights, I'm still trying to figure those out myself. One of my room mates isn't too down for couch surfers, but I'll try to finnagle something, or we can meet up!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have heard other's accounts, but do not have one of my own yet. I will be surfing my first couch at the end of Nov 2007!

Interests

Art, primarily drawing with graphite or color pencil. I'm learning piano right now. I like to dance, particularly ballet and lyrical. I believe in keeping journals, and I like to write poetry. I am in love with travel.
