CURRENT MISSION

'Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.' -James Dean

ABOUT ME

I love to stay active with my animals, music, travel, and adventure. Horses are my main focus in life. I show, breed, train, transport horses, and give riding lessons. I ride Dressage, and would also like to get back into Eventing. Once in awhile I go Team Penning with the local cowboys, for some "screw off" time. I have 7 horses at the moment.

I also thoroughly enjoy music. I like music from all parts of the world. I could work with my headphones on all day!

For me, travel and adventure go hand in hand. Because I live in middle-of-nowhere Wisconsin, I have to travel for some excitement!

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an open-minded person. I love culture. I enjoy intellectually driven conversation. I get bored quickly if I don't experience some type of culture or intellectual conversation. Allthough I have to say, I've met extremely uneducated people, and have greatly enjoyed conversation with them.

I try to live my life like the Haitians..."Let's get on with it! Tomorrow is another day." -Toni Monnin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Where I live, many local people think it is far too expensive to leave the state, let alone the country. Most local people aren't familiar with youth hostels, or CS. Because I am the only "big" traveller in my area, I can bring plenty of awareness to local people, and my other travelling friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had no CS experiences yet. I'm just signing on.

Interests

I have a big desire to dive with sharks. I want to open dive with sharks, and cage dive with the Great White shark.

I'm always interested in travelling anywhere!

Skiing in real mountains. I've only gone skiing in on the local hills.

I would like to go sailing somewhere in any ocean. I've never been on a sailboat.

I have way too many interests to mention. I probably have interests I don't even know about yet!

Art is something I enjoy observing and learning about.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of types of movies. I'm especially interested in foreign films. Scary movies either bore me or make me laugh. I will watch just about anything.

As far as music, I like all types of music. My favorite types of music are Reggae, Salsa, Trance, and Soul. I like very little Country. Like everything else I've mentioned, I'll try, or in this case, listen to anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have to mention only one?! I guess is has to be riding horses.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not entirely sure of something I can share. I haven't travelled as much as probably most people on this site. So I guess I will be the student for a while.
