CURRENT MISSION

Expanding my world that is currently too small...

ABOUT ME

Well... I'm the last of 6 children in a military family. I also, was in the United States Air Force for 7 years and have since moved on. I want to travel more and although I am still finishing my degree, I choose to take time for myself, from time to time.

I think keeping a clear mind and staying stress-free is very important, and for this reason, I sometimes vacate to places before returning to the regular 9-5 life.

PHILOSOPHY

Bite the bullet and take the risk. You can either get busy living, or start dying but either way... the show must go on.

For a long time, I lived my life inside a safe and secure shell until someone crumbled my world and showed me just how scared I had always been. So, I decided that things had to change and I took flight into a new horizon and didn't look back. Nowadays, I travel around looking to experience new cultures, places and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I want to host more often.

I want to try my luck surfing in other countries as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not used couchsurfing for myself thus-far. So far, my last roommate and I hosted 4 people, but I did not have a profile at the time.

Interests

Poetry, skateboarding (not too good at it). dancing, singing, outdoor sports and activities and cooking. Actually, I LOVE cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Dean Koontz, but I don't read nearly as much as I should. Many people say this, but I truly mean it; I don't listen to country and I think that is a shorter list than the things I like. Really though, I don't listen to techno or heavy metal either. Movies... I have no idea. I've seen far too many, but when I think of something really specific, I'll let the world know.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the Air Force for 7 years, so I've seen some pretty cool things. I've seen planes being refueled in the air and I've had to run through tear gas during a war simulation. Can't say I miss that much, though.

Walking up the side of a "mountain" in Spain is another amazing things that I've done and/or seen. I've never witnessed such a beautiful site before.

Sadly, with the life I've had, I haven't allowed myself to live and experience many different things, but there is always time for change and my time is now.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would really like to practice my Spanish more. I only took one semester of French, but if someone was willing to teach me, I'd like to learn that as well.

I have a degree in Computer Support and also English and Communication. I also taught ballroom dance for 3 years. Other than that, I am not sure what I am really versed in, but perhaps with the right person, I could figure it out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, music (a ton), stories and poetry. If there is something else you'd like to know...just ask. I'm still a novice art reading minds.
