About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Be adventurous, have fun, create amazing memories that will last a lifetime
ABOUT ME
Kathy:
I am about to graduate nursing school (thank God), and about to get the hell out of Lubbock (another Amen). I have an awesome family, awesome friends, and an awesome boyfriend. I'm a laid back person who loves to have fun and loves to be around fun people. Im optimistic, idealistic, funny, intelligent, and generally a fun person to be around.
Amanda:
I am about to graduate nursing school as well, and I am very excited to be a pediatric nurse and counting down the days to move back to Dallas. I have the most wonderful friends and family who are always so supportive of any decision that I make. I am easy going and can pretty much have a good time and have fun no matter what I am doing. I really enjoying learning about new people, new cultures, and trying new things.
PHILOSOPHY
I would say our personal philosophy is to roll with whatever life throws at us. We don't lead perfect lives and sometimes things can be very hard, but in the end, we get through it. We try to live life, have fun, laugh at our mistakes and each other's mistakes, and not take life for granted.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Well, if for some horrid reason someone ever DID come to Lubbock Tx to vacation (don't do it...it really sucks here and you will be VERY disappointed), we could maybe have coffee with them or tell them where to stay and what to do (We'll sum it up for you..all there is to do in Lubbock is drink, go to the movies, bowl, or eat. Go nuts)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We just signed onto CouchSurfing at the advice of Kathy's sister Melody, who has traveled all over the world. We trust her judgment and hope to meet some Aussies, or others who have traveled there, and get some inside info on Australia that you can't read in a book.
Interests
We both love to have fun. Pretty much any adventure or activity we are game for. Mountain biking, snorkeling, diving, boating, rock climbing, white water rafting, ect. We also like to just kick back and hang out with good company, read, lay out on the beach (who doesn't), and have a beer.
