I love to travel, see more of the world and meet new people.

Love is my religion...

PHILOSOPHY

Make cupcakes, not war...

I try to do the best I can everyday and hope to make positive change... Like Oprah said, "my philosophy is that not only are you responsible for your life, but doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I don't have a couch to offer, but I try to travel whenever I get the chance and am always up for coffee or a drink

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch-surfed several times, and have had such good experiences with incredible people (now I know I love Berlin's nightlife, Italy's food, and Ireland's folk songs thanks to a few of the people I've been fortunate enough to meet). Isn't is a beautiful thing to feel welcome in another country and share experiences with other couchsurfers (rhetorical question)? :)

Interests

I'm interested in photography, film, music, and art. I'm really just a very curious person.

"A person who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
~ Albert Einstein ~

I also am interested in eating (I love different food!), biking, hiking, learning new languages, and of course traveling.
